Hi.

This is only because PHP is configured to display errors, on this server, to 
the web browser, instead of to a log file or syslog.  This is not a particular 
vulnerability with this software, although if they are including based on 
?show=<..> it could have many fopen()-based include vulnerabilities, providing 
they're not running safe mode.
