 It wasn't in the function until recently, and seems to be redundant. Can
 also cause a loop by calling {{{wp_get_sidebars_widgets()}}} from
 {{{retrieve_widgets()}}} -- which could call
 {{{wp_get_sidebars_widgets()}}} again.

 Having the global call for {{{$sidebars_widgets}}} (which your patch
 fixes) takes care of it.
