Problems with blogs.gnome.org

[Owen Taylor <otaylor redhat com>]

People are complaining because there blogs are showing empty pages:

 http://blogs.gnome.org/kbrae
 http://blogs.gnome.org/xan

Looking at the error log, things are dying with:

[Mon Feb 02 03:13:09 2009] [error] [client 209.132.176.176] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function get
_role() on a non-object in /usr/local/www/blogs.gnome.org/wp-content/mu-plugins/openid/common.php on line 1
32

Looking at the install, things have very recent dates:

-rw-r--r-- 1 jdub jdub 32162 Jan 20 14:37 /usr/local/www/blogs.gnome.org/wp-content/mu-plugins/openid/common.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 jdub jdub 30 Jan 29 16:18 /usr/local/www/blogs.gnome.org/wp-content/index.php

So, it looks like either an auto or manual update broke something? It
might work for an admin user on the wordpress install to disable the
openid plugin as a short-term workaround.
