Comment (by davidnash):

 I'd like to thank everyone for looking into this. There are some subtler
 points I wasn't aware of (eg the disk filling up if file logging is left
 on!).

 @wpgurudev I'd like to vote for your patch :-)

 But @psykro's simple addition of `define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );` in
 the comments would be enough.

 And at the risk of over-stating this, during my own theme/plugin
 development I've set `WP_DEBUG` to `true` but turned it off again because
 of all the output generated by other plugins. Which means I've probably
 contributed to the problem myself.

 I think a small change like this could really help improve the quality of
 WordPress themes and plugins.
