Please contact me if you are getting this error and are willing to give me access to the system to verify the problem and test the patch. It is a single line code change inside Joomla and can be rolled back instantaneously.
I am looking for a system that is having that problem at the time. Need to be able to reproduce the error on demand.
Thx!
Ok - I have come up with a potential fix for this but need a system with that error on it, to test if that really catches it.
If it does I will make sure this makes it into the next Joomla core build.
Let me know who of you can help with this.
Thx!

Thank you very much!
With access to a test system that encountered this problem, I have been able to identify the problem.
As expected it is not related to Kunena but represents a Joomla problem on some installs out there. It is not clear if it got introduced with 1.5.10 or if it is simply a combination of changes that is now exposing the issue.
We have also found other modules and components that seem to make Joomla throw the same error.
During the deep dive I found 2 bugs - 1 inside of Joomla itself, 1 inside a utf8 library that comes with Joomla.
The problem is that these libraries check for the existence of mb_substr() to detect whether mb functions are available. Unfortunately those of you that have this problem have the mb_substr() function but not the mb_strpos() function declared.
I am working with the core Joomla team to provide a fix for this.
More updates will follow.
