That is what I get anytime I try and mess with the author information block on Drupal 6.

Hopefully someone can confirm this as well.

Actually that has little to do with block.module and more with profile.module.

In the profile_block function the variable '$form['profile_block_author_fields'] has it's default_value set to NULL as in 

$form['profile_block_author_fields'] = array('#type' => 'checkboxes',
      '#title' => t('Profile fields to display'),
      '#default_value' => variable_get('profile_block_author_fields', NULL),
     //......snip

Added a patch which clears the error by setting the default value to array() instead of NULL

Please review, first drupal patch

I also receive the error in 6.2. I changed the NULL to array() in profile.module but the error remains. I logged out and back in with no success. What should I do for the change to take affect?

You can reproduce this by going to admin/build/block/configure/profile/author-information with profile module enabled. This wasn't clear to me from the original description.

Applies to 7.x, too, with some fuzz, and solves the issue for me. I'm not sure why this didn't work for linguaetc. Here's a clean re-roll for 7.x.

While I don't think this qualifies as a "critical" bug, it is very nasty for Drupal to be displaying errors like this.
