The way how factory methods are implemented in many Horde classes seems to
confuse PHP 5.1:

    function &factory($driver, $params = null)
    {
...
      >>>      return $ret = &new $class($params);
...
    }

The warning is thrown once the factory method returns the new class.

If debug_level includes reporting of warnings, the application is blocked,
because http headers cannot be set anymore...

Workaround:
set in $HORDE_HOME/config.conf.php:
$conf['debug_level'] = E_ERROR;
