This error was noticed in CC511 and reported fixed in CC512.

The report says:

==============

When PHP is shutting down, registered shutdown functions and destructors are executed.

The Session destructor calls _close(). Session->_close() calls the function currentPage().

Near the bottom of currentPage(), a test is made for a non-empty $_GET['seo_path']. At this point, the test evaluates true and SEO::getInstance()->getItem($_GET['seo_path'], true) is called.

SEO->getItem() queries the database.

BUT! The database instance has gone away and PHP throws an error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function select() on a non-object in classesseo.class.php on line 225

PHP finally "shuts down" only because it crashed.
