Once again, it is an E_NOTICE in 4.4.  And yes, not displaying it makes
it go away.  Staying with 4.3 because of this is nuts.  If you are
seeing this notice under 4.4 that means you are most likely getting
random memory corruption under 4.3.  Move to 4.4 to fix the memory
corruption.  Go through the notices and fix as many of them as you can,
since it indicates a basic problem in the code you are running.  If you
are not interested in doing that, just turn them off.  It will run
without corruption.
