 Our call to `mysqli_fetch_object()` in wp-db.php sometimes receives a
 `$result` that is a boolean.

 This makes our unit tests blow up in HHVM, as their implementation of
 `mysqli_fetch_object()` isn't as forgiving when receiving an unexpected
 value.

 A simple fix is to do an `is_object()` test before the call. This lets our
 unit tests run in HHVM. But also I'd like to know why `$result` has a
 boolean value.
