By the sounds of it, A plugin you are running has included a custom version of snoopy rather than relying on the WordPress builtin version.

The snoopy files are loaded via a require_once() AFAIK, It would be good to move the admin off the snoopy class(#4779), as for this error though, Checking to see if snoopy is allreaded loaded (if(class_exists())) could be added to the builtin snoopy file. Or the Plugin author which has included it could switch to the builtin version.

Agreed this sounds like it's plugin caused.

What plugins are you using?

I did a grep for snoopy in the plugins folder and found 'Wordpress Automatic Upgrade v1.2.0.1' as the buggy one.

A fix for this is released in v1.2.0.2

Thanks,
