Comment(by westi):

 Replying to [comment:8 miqrogroove]:
 > I also confirmed in 2.9.2 the front end throws a WSOD with no errors
 reported when the theme is missing for any reason.  This needs
 consideration in 3.0.

 This has been there for a while ever since we removed the
 validate_current_theme check on the frontend due to it not being reliable
 on some servers to do this.

 As recently discussed on wp-hackers I think a better error page is needed
 here and I will add this soon.
