is this a bug, or is this something busted on my 'hack?

While working tonight, I noticed that something may have broken comment email notification. I'm not getting any notifications of comments made to any journal (even when I was getting those notifications before -- that is, it's not a problem with the ESN workers not running) and in my Apache logs, whenever a comment is posted, I get:

Did we break something, or did I break my 'hack somehow? *g* (I'm using the most recent code, I swear!)
