Dissappearing admins

#391

I have two sites now that report that admin privs (administrator checked in user screen) disappear mysteriously. this happened most recently while user was creating new users on the system.

    Yes this was an admin user (not super admin) who was editing/adding new accounts for teachers at his school. Sometime during the session he lost his admin privileges.

    I had another user in a similar situation (admin not super admin) who lost admin capabilities.

    I have another admin who lost admin privs he was doing a bunch of different tasks including creating/editing users.
    He logged off and when logged back in was no longer an admin.

    That site (from today) is now using develop code as of this morning. Was using last stable release patched for the IE upload problem.
