Okay, *that* is a design flaw. Though personally, I never believe
those "maintainers have been notified" pages. I mean, anyone can go
looking at their server error logs, but how many people *get
notified*?? And when does it *ever* result in prompt fixing of errors?

So even if this is the one site on the entire internet where that's
true, I'd be inclined to drop that text, because it's pretty much
useless.
