Breaks DHTML Menu

After installiing the module, it breaks the dhtml_menu.module. When loading a page i receive the warning:

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/dev-revv/public/sites/all/modules/dhtml_menu/dhtml_menu.module on line 175.

here is the code from dhtml_menu.module starting from line 174:

174  // Traverse the tree.
175  foreach ($index[$item['mlid']]['parents'] as $mlid) {
176    $key = $index[$mlid]['key'];
177    if (!isset($tree[$key])) {
178      return array();
179    }
180    $tree = $tree[$key]['below'];
181  }
182  $key = $index[$item['mlid']]['key'];
183  return isset($tree[$key]) ? $tree[$key]['below'] : array();
184 }

Also when going to my home page i get the following WSOD

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /var/www/dev-revv/public/includes/common.inc on line 1542

I tried telling dhtml menu not to load the admin_dashboard menu but the issue still persisted.

when i tried uninstalling dhtml menu i got a wsod again

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /var/www/dev-revv/public/includes/common.inc on line 1542
array(4) { ["type"]=> int(1) ["message"]=> string(25) "Unsupported operand types" ["file"]=> string(44) "/var/www/dev-revv/public/includes/common.inc" ["line"]=> int(1542) } n/a

after which point disabling either module fixes it, the above (2nd) wsod error keeps showing on the front page. so before trying to replicate this make sure you backup your database.
