Remember return $variables line in function _phptemplate_variables

So, it turns out that in your _phptemplate_variables($hook, $variables = array()) function in template.php, the return $variables line is very, very important.

As in your site self-destructs if you don't have it or accidentally comment it out.

Another helpful tip from Agaric Design Collective!

(And no, we don't learn these the hard way. Angels descend from heaven and whisper Drupal truths in our ears, complete with error output.)
