[F] Settings not accessible from run_shutdown()

[ZAKKINEN]

Apparently with MyBB 1.4.1 and PHP 5.2.5 the settings are not available to the run_shutdown() function. This results in the daily-cleanup task filling the cache for most_viewed_threads and most_replied_threads with as many entries as available, no limit being set.

The error does not occur with PHP 5.2.6

To find this problem, I ran a test forum with enabled tracing. What worries me is that there are quite a few entries like this:

To my understanding that means that the array-indexes referenced aren't existing - could be a similar issue, the array being not properly initialized/loaded. And that stays with PHP 5.2.6. The function executed is run_shutdown() btw.
