This error occured when I created a new category and went to edit the group permissions for it. I was trying to remove all permissions from members to make the category hidden to all but mods/admins, but when I tried to save the permissions I got an error. I then tried to leave only one permission, and got this error:

QSF Portal has exited with an error!

Christ, that bug again? We'll need to go digging again. I could have sworn this got fixed somewhere along the way. .........................

Apparently the break from this code did some good. I went back and looked at this issue and it was a DOH moment. The call to the function wasn't passing the argument the constructor requires. Oops. As a result the code also doesn't need to worry about assigning the ->pre or ->db pointer since the constructor already does that.
