I don't believe this is bogus, as it does not appear to be a problem with
PHP.  It seems to be a change in PHP, in which Horde needs to account for in
order to ensure compatibility.

Moving the require_once('DB.php') from within the _connect function to
outside of the class in horde/lib/Horde/Prefs/sql.php seems to solve the
problem.  It is clear that PHP doesn't want you to introduce new files while
it's shutting down or shuts something down in a different order.

It also doesn't change the way the functions work, but just moves the
define.  So why not move the line and everyone is happy?

To add to it, I've found a few posts on the net stating the same solution I
found.  The open_basedir is right, but the fact that it's trying to include
in the shutdown function is causing issues.
