Indeed.  When I do phpinfo on both hosts:

edmullen.net - error_reporting = 22517
guitarsnotguns.org - error_reporting = 30711

I haven't yet figured out how to get access to the php.ini file on 
DreamHost, GNG's hosting service.  Their documentation/help is somewhat 
byzantine.

Thanks, Lew.

P.S. Googled and found that if I put this in the custom error pages as 
the first line in "include" script it stops the error.  The date is 
still wrong but that's less annoying.

<?php error_reporting(22517); ?>
