 In "wp-admin/menu.php", the variable $menu is used as global but never
 declared as global, this cause issue if you are displaying admin from a
 router script in PHP by using a require_once.

 Bug can be solved by adding to "wp-admin/menu.php"
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 /**
  * Build Administration Menu.
  *
  * @package WordPress
  * @subpackage Administration
  */

 /**
  * Constructs the admin menu.
  *
  * The elements in the array are :
  *     0: Menu item name
  *     1: Minimum level or capability required.
  *     2: The URL of the item's file
  *     3: Class
  *     4: ID
  *     5: Icon for top level menu
  *
  * @global array $menu
  */

 global $menu; // <- This line
 }}}
