Description:
If Nostalgia is the skin choosed in the preferences, special pages (with special: namespace), doesn't
work any longer, causing the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class specialpage in c:\wamp\wiki\includes\SpecialPage.php on line 106

Programs used:
php 4.3.11
MySQL 5.0.3-NT Alpha
Apache 2.0.53
Running on Windows 98 as a testserver

The title of the page will appear in the browser's titlebar, and the header of the page will load too
(DOCTYPE, everything between <head> and </head>, and then the body tag. Finally the error, and nothing
more then.)

The user who have this problem, can't change the skin, because the preferences page is a special page
too.

I just tried this on Wikimedia Commons - it seems to work fine.

On accessing any special page:

Check the include_path setting in LocalSettings.php. Is the $IP variable set to the correct path? Add
in a var_dump( get_included_files() ) right before the failed line and report back exactly what is
listed.

Do you have inaccessible parent directories in the path?
