if you'll notice the error messages:

   [Tue Jun  5 15:51:55 2001] (Ox1GZYCuz80AAGBqt0Y) eon.cgi: Uncaught Gas
   Exception: DBD::Pg::db selectrow_array failed: ERROR:  attribute
   'evaluationform_id' not found
   Gas::ErrorManager::handle_exception('Gas::ErrorManager=HASH(0x8498014)',
   'DBD::Pg::db selectrow_array failed: ERROR:  attribute \'evaluati...') called
   at /home/sgold/public_html/cgi-bin/eon.cgi line 89

i get one error from DBD and a line number from eon.cgi, where the uncaught
error handler is called.  it seems that if the uncaught error handler did
a full stack trace instead of just reporting where it was called from, we'd
see the more relevant line that spawned the error.

some of the error handling code seems to do full stack traces -- it may
just be that uncaught errors don't get that treatment for some reason.

it's been a while since i did this, but you can user caller() to get the
entire stack.
