[development] Blocks and page context

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Everett,

I think if the currently logged in user does not have access to this URL,
then the page load will not reach as far as your hook_block() code.

Although, it is 10:31 pm and I am at the airport after 7 continuous days of
Drupaling, so brain is fried (in the microwave).

So better test it with some test code and see if what I said is right or
not.
