I thought about it more and I now think that I mischaracterized the
symptoms.  With Mozilla, before I enabled the groups settings, I had logged
into the wiki. With IE, I did not log in prior to enabling groups.  At least
one of the times when I had the problem in Mozilla was when I tried to log
out.

Looking at the code in WikiGroup and in WikiUserNew, I think that the user
level should be tested before accessing the prepare function. Something like

if $user->_level >= WIKIAUTH_USER {
    $this->_is_member = $user->prepare($DBAuthParams['is_member'],
                                           array('userid','groupname'));
    $this->_group_members =
$user->prepare($DBAuthParams['group_members'],'groupname');
    $this->_user_groups =
$user->prepare($DBAuthParams['user_groups'],'userid');
    $this->dbh = $user->_auth_dbi;
} else {
    $this->_is_member = false;
// I don't yet understand enough to do the rest of the else path
}

I hope that this helps...
