Undefined index: hook_suffix notice on wp_ajax_get_comments

[c3mdigital]

This is part 1 of a two part bug on displaying comments on post.php

The undifined index notice in the ajax response causes the error "an unidentified error has occurred" in the Comments post meta box.

( ! ) Notice: Undefined index: hook_suffix in /Users/chris/Sites/wp-trunk/wp-admin/includes/screen.php on line 401

Calling global $hook_suffix; in WP_Screen::get(); fixes the notice.

Handle screen arg in WP_Comments_List_Table constructor. Avoids warning when calling WP_Screen::get() later. fixes #22039

As you can see from IRC log I was getting this warning when pulling list table via ajax. I used the original patch where it sets the var first (global $hook_suffix; $id = $hook_suffix;) and no longer get warning.

Was this left as using $GLOBALShook_suffix? to make sure this warning is output?

Totally unrelated to the actual bug (sorry), but I would love to know what you used to generate the stack trace output in the initial bug report? Is that a native PHP function? Thanks!
