We didn't release and updates in the last couple of weeks that could have 
caused this problem. Just to be sure I checked the GUI of 5106R, 5107R and 
5108R and went to the pages you mentioned. I don't see any of these problems.

So this isn't a general problem with our code, but with something odd on your 
end.

The kind of problems you describe usually happen when a class or function is 
declared more than once. A class is a section of re-useable code. Once it is 
declared, you can simply call it elsewhere with just one command to do the 
complex set of instructions that you coded into that class. However, class 
names must be unique, so that PHP doesn't get confused.

Class "Collator" deals with string manipulation. Such as sorting or merging of 
strings. Class "Locale" deals with the localization of the GUI and the 
handling of different languages. Those two classes haven't been modified by us 
in ages, because there never was any need to improve or change them.

So I wonder if you made some modifications to the GUI which could have caused 
this. Like installing something that's not really designed for usage on 
BlueOnyx. What did you do on the server before the error happened?
