PHP errors specific to Fedora

[Bob Shaffer]

It looks like each() returns an array, and preg_match wants a string.  The
old version of PHP must have just missed the error where the new one is
more strict.  Try changing this line:
if (!preg_match("/^#/", $a_pref)) {
to this:
if (!preg_match("/^#/", $a_pref[value])) {
and it might fix your problem.  The code for that plugin doesn't look
entirely correct to me, though, anyway.  If it worked before, that might
fix your problem though.
