In the process of moving my site to a new server with PHP 5.3, I receive an error when uploading files to a node:

Parameter 2 to signup_form_alter() expected to be a reference, value given in /var/www/html/lawtest/includes/common.inc on line 2892.

I found issues on other modules where removing the & from &$form_state resolves the issue. I don't have a git account, so I can't create a patch, but on my test install, on line 711 of signup.module, I changed

-function signup_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id)
+function signup_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id)

and the error did not reoccur.

I am also getting Parameter 2 to signup_confirm_email_form_alter() expected to be a reference, value given in /var/www/html/lawtest/includes/common.inc on line 2892.

I made the same change as above, only to Line 21 of signup_confirm_email.module and changed

-function signup_confirm_email_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id)
+function signup_confirm_email_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id)
