drigg_link() does not need a parameter reference? [#713696]

Since PHP5.3, following error message seems to be frequent on several sites:
warning: Parameter 1 to drigg_link() expected to be a reference, value given in /customers/nedsatt.se/nedsatt.se/httpd.www/includes/module.inc on line 406.

In my case, I am not sure at all where the call is coming from, but this bug report i questioning why the function needs a reference. It is not doing anything to the object.

So, the easiest and to avoid problems is to change this function definition to remove the '&'.

In my case the warning is:
warning: Parameter 1 to drigg_link() expected to be a reference, value given in ...\htdocs\[mySite]\includes\module.inc on line 483.

What can I do to solve the problem?

You can try to just remove the '&' in front of parameter in the function definition of drigg_link()
It worked for me.

drupal6home/modules/drigg/drigg/helpers.inc contains the drigg_link function definition. As mentioned in the prev post just remove the '&" in front of the parameter in the function definition. Still wondering if this is a drupal issue or a PHP 5.3 issue. Anyone has any better insights into this?

This function drigg_link() conflicts with the hook_link()
It's better to rename this function while it doesn't have anything do with hook_link()
The comment said that this is only a theme helper function
