Summary: Error on "viewfolder"

Initial Comment:
Using Apache 2.0.54 and PHP4 4.4.0.  
  
When a non-admin user tries to access mydms/index.php  
following error follows:  
  
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a  
non-object in mydms/out/out.ViewFolder.php on line 21  
  
This line checks if given user has enough privileges 
 
$folder = getFolder($folderid); 
if ($folder->getAccessMode($user) < M_READ) die  
("Access denied"); 
 
It seems that getFolder() should return an object, 
but somehow it isn't (maybe because there's still no 
folder to access when coming from mydms/index.php). 
 
This bug renders the whole mydms module unusable on 
my system.

This bug is still present on 1.2rc8, but I have more news 
on it. 
 
It only happens for users that don't have access to the 
root folder.  It seems that then there's no object to 
return from getFolder($folderid); of course this is "no 
excuse", since the code should handle ellegantly this 
situation.
