Duplicate Messages Tab in Private Message Plugin

I have the Private Messages plugin and the Avatar plugin both installed, and whenever I click on the Avatar tab in user profiles, I get two Messages tabs. I added the function suggested in the PM plugin forum:

function add_pm_tab()
{
global $user_id;
global $self;

if (bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ) == $user_id) {
add_profile_tab(__('Messages'), 'edit_profile', '', 'pm.php');
}
}
add_action( 'bb_profile_menu', 'add_pm_tab' );
bb_add_filter('get_bb_location', 'get_mess_bb_location');
bb_add_filter('get_bb_location', 'get_pm_bb_location');

To display the PM message tab on the users' profiles. Any idea what's causing the tab to duplicate? It only happens when users click on the Avatar tab in their profile.

I had the same problem with my plugins with the avatar tab too. It makes tabs duplicate.

I'll have to lookup the workaround I did...

Okay the bug fix I had to use was to wrap the function that adds a tab and check if $self was set.

ie.
```
function add_tab(blah) {
global $self;
   if (!self) {
     // code that adds tab goes here
   }
}
```
So what you probably need to do is change this line like so:
if (!$self && bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ) == $user_id) {
