 When asking for categories that are child of another category (cat1) and
 to
 include empty categories I get different behaviour wether cat1 has
 children
 or not.



 Take the following code:

 {{{
 $cat_children   = get_categories(
         array(
                 'child_of'      => 1,
                 'hide_empty'    => false,
         );
 );

 print_r($cat_children);
 }}}



 Scenario 1:[[BR]]
 I have the following categories:
  1 - cat1 (no parent)[[BR]]
  2 - cat2 (no parent)[[BR]]
  3 - cat3 (parent:1)

 In this case it prints out cat3.



 Scenario 2:[[BR]]
 I have the following categories:
  1 - cat1 (no parent)[[BR]]
  2 - cat2 (no parent)

 In this case it prints out cat1 and cat2.


 Expected behaviour is to get an empty list, simply because cat1
 doesn't have any children.
