 Pinning down a bug on a customer server lead me to removing an '@':

 {{{
 Warning: dir() has been disabled for security reasons (...)
 }}}

 The pesky line in question was:

 {{{
 $themes_dir = @ dir($theme_root);
 }}}

 But there's plenty of other calls to:

 {{{
 @ dir(...)
 }}}

 Why in the bloody hell would anyone want WordPress to silence this kind of
 error? It should spit something along the lines of "Your host sucks,
 change it now."
