If the logfile (e.g. /var/log/horde/horde.log) is not writable due to  
file permissions or open_basedir restrictions, the ErrorHandler seems  
to create an infinite loop until memory is exhausted. This leads to  
huge server load depending on apache config.

Error message in apache's error.log:
"PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of ... bytes exhausted (tried  
to allocate 83107841 bytes) in /usr/share/php/Horde/ErrorHandler.php  
on line 111"


I think it's not a new issue, I just discovered it in v5.1.3 when I  
ported my installation to a different server and forgot about the  
permissions.
