Uhm... just guessing if this patch is expected to work ok always:
http://cvs.moodle.org/moodle/lib/sessionlib.php?r1=1.48&r2=1.49
As far as I understand the class loading mechanism of DB stuff, the call to get_manager() is the one in charge of including all the DDL stuff (like xmldb_xxxx objects). So we shouldn't be using this:
$table = new xmldb_table('external_tokens');
before the get_manager() call.
Reopening for review, ciao 
$table = new xmldb_table('external_tokens');
Ah, sorry, forget my last comment, I just fetched mail and saw an improved version that uses the get_manager() before anything else.
Re-closing this.. .ciao
