 wp-db.php does not appear to have access to wp-config.php settings.

 At line 949 in wp-db.php
 {{{
 if ( isset( $tables['users'] ) && defined( 'CUSTOM_USER_TABLE' ) )
     $tables['users'] = CUSTOM_USER_TABLE;
 if ( isset( $tables['usermeta'] ) && defined('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE' )
     $tables['usermeta'] = CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE;
 }}}


 If I change the if statments to only use the isset(), then the values are
 set to the strings "CUSTOM_USER_TABLE" and "CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE", not
 the values of those constants.

 If I change the if statments to only use the isset(), and hardcode the
 values instead of using the constants, the hardcoded values are used.


 If it is decided not to fix this, then http://codex.wordpress.org
 /Editing_wp-config.php#Custom_User_and_Usermeta_Tables needs to be changed
 as the instructions for custom user tables do not work when wp-db.php
 cannot see the constants that have been defined.
