 * I just got this problem after installing a particular new theme (namely: connections).
   Not sure what the deal is. Put that theme folder in, I get the message. Take 
   it back out, everything is normal. I don’t get that problem with any other theme
   so far. Can’t figure out what the deal is.
 * Maybe your problem might be theme-related somehow too. ???

 * using wp 2.02, I found that having an empty dir in themes is causing this error.
   It’s fine if it’s the proper user, but I had one owned by root, with 755 permission,
   and it caused the error. I changed the owner to what it should be, and then the
   error went away.
 * fussy little thing!
