issue #319 - NOTE: this does not fix the issue, it only reports it and continues. We need to examine any logger statements that contain 'stack:' as a result of reporting this issue and find and fix the original problem - which is that set_pconfig is being called without a valid $uid. I'm worried that since we will now continue on without throwing a PHP error that nobody will ever notice or find the problem that is causing this.
