Better yet, the error handler could not print anything back. A generic 500 is the way to go. Log your errors.

If you think you'd get worthwhile bug reports / don't want to implement log analysis or whatever, take whatever errors, stack traces, etc. you'd like, encrypt and base64 encode them, and print that.

Printing any hints about the nature of errors should be regarded as a security risk.

Absolutely true, and how I implement error handling personally (meaning give a friendly non technical message and track the error internally) I blame a brain collapse after a long day :)
