#21870: @ error control operator hides fatal error on mysql_fetch_object

 I ran a get_posts() query that took me a while to track down to the @
 error control operator on the mysql_fetch_object call (see wp-db.php:1219
 in trunk), therefore PHP was silently die'ing on me because of a memory
 limit error.

 I'm curious as to what use cases there are for the error control operator
 to be used here. In my case, I want to see these errors and fix my code
 accordingly, or tailor my query to the memory constraints, or rethink my
 data relations in the database.
