 My host recently had a short MySQL outage and the apparently stock error
 page that was shown to everyone visiting my site during this minor hiccup
 shows '''way''' too much information to them!

 [[Image(http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/153/wpdbunreachableerror2.png)]]

 It shows my full, private database host - something that should only be
 known to myself, those I '''explicitly choose to tell''', and my host. It
 also shows - twice - my full, private, shared-hosting path to wp-db.php.
 This is also something that should be known only to myself, those I
 '''explicitly choose to tell''', and my host.
