 If a user isn't logged in and tries to access a restricted section of
 BuddyPress, bp_core_catch_uri redirects to the root domain without passing
 the referer for redirection after login. A perfect example of this is in
 the "friend request" notification email; included is a link to review the
 requests, but one must be logged in for the link to be of any use.

 The problem lies in the function's check for the existance of an
 appropriate template file, which relies on $bp_path. This variable isn't
 defined if the user isn't logged in, so the template file check
 automatically fails. As a result, the user is redirect to the root domain
 without any explanation.

 The easiest solution would be to check if the user is logged in, and if
 not, redirect to wp-login.php, passing the requested uri as the
 redirect_to parameter. Post-login, bp_core_catch_uri would handle the
 template redirection as it does now.
