 `ms-settings.php` implicitly expects `$wpdb` to be a globalized variable.
 However, neither `wp-settings.php` nor `ms-settings.php` explicitly
 globalizes it, which causes a fatal when `wp-settings.php` is called
 within a function.

 `$wpdb` should be explicitly globalized, either in `wp-settings.php` or
 `ms-settings.php`. I don't have a strong preference as to which.
