 * ran into some “header information already sent” error messages and came across
   this article:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F)
 * i downloaded a fresh copy of 3.8 onto my local machine and unzipped the file.
   there are a TON of files missing the closing php tag ?>
 * is this an error with the installation? should i bother to go in and insert the
   missing tags or is this normal coding standards for wp files?
