 * Getting a ton of these errors in multiple blogs, all running 2.7. Might be a 
   plugin issue, but don’t know where to start:

 * Is it present in 5.2.6 too? Is it something that I just live with? It seems to
   take 1.5 seconds off my performance in many cases.

 * I’m having the same problem and I upgraded to PHP 5.29 and it still does not 
   go away. The error happens thousands of times it forces the error log in cPanel
   to be blank. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix it?

 * I am getting this error too. So many errors. Bluehost (my host) actually turned
   my site off because of it. VERY frustrating. And I have no idea how to solve 
   this.
 * So far, I deleted all comment spam, got rid of old themes + plugins, and upgraded
   to wordpress 2.8.1.
 * i’m still getting the error.
 * i think someone is hacking into my site, but don’t really know if this is true
   or not, or what the vulnerability may be.
 * ANY ideas on possible solution/troubleshooting methods?
