Special:Allmessages (in version 1.3.1) line 8 is 'set_time_limit(0);'. This causes errors because my web host has set PHP to safe mode. I grepped all files for set_time_limit and that is the only file (aside from maintenance files) that uses it, so I assume it's not needed. At the least, an if statement could check whether safe mode was on to solve the errors. Commenting that one line out removes the errors and no other pages give errors in the first place.
This was probably added because the output was insanely slow and frequently timed out in the default 30 seconds. I've rewritten it in 1.4 to be much faster. Until then, putting a @ in front of the statement to eliminate the error message should do. I'll test that...
On at least one of my boxen the old code runs too slow to finish in the default 30 second time limit anyway, so I've gone ahead and backported the faster 1.4 code and removed the set_time_limit() call. Will be included in 1.3.2.
