--------------------------------+-----------------------------
 We are using Wordpress SHORTINIT to integrate user capabilities and logged
 status in a custom intranet with the following code :
 {{{
 define('SHORTINIT', true);
 define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

 require_once '/home/www/extranet/wp-load.php';

 require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/formatting.php';
 require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/capabilities.php';
 require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/user.php';
 require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/meta.php';
 require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/post.php';
 require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/pluggable.php';
 wp_cookie_constants();
 }}}

 * {{{/home/www}}} is our DOCUMENT_ROOT
 * PATH_CURRENT_SITE is defined with {{{/extranet}}} subdirectory
 * we need to include this snippet from {{{/intranet}}} subdirectory (for
 example).

 Our WP 3.6.1 worked fine this way but when we updated, WP printed the
 message {{{Error establishing a database connection}}} then exited.

 As a workaround, we replaced line 65 in the file {{{/wp-includes/ms-
 settings.php}}} :
 * {{{$current_blog = get_site_by_path( $domain, $path, 1 );}}}
 with the following
 * {{{$current_blog = get_site_by_path( $domain, PATH_CURRENT_SITE);}}}

 We stated that this was a bug, because it worked before ;-).
