Description:
------------
Error message:
Only variable references should be returned by reference

Stacktrace:
_getfilepointer() called at [.../include/pear/File.php:143]
file::_getfilepointer() called at [.../include/pear/File.php:255]
file::write() called at [...]

Explanation: _getFilePointer() sometimes returns a PEAR_Error object, which is not a reference to something. This causes the error shown above.
