I get the following fatal error with the location module enabled:

PHP Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in
/var/www/vhosts/flex.org/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/location/location.module on line 1719

The temporary solution for me is to comment out that section of code. After that, things work fine.

What is your PHP version?

More specifically, is it 5.0.5?

Hmm, 5.2.6.

What is actually *on* that line? I can't really see what would be causing an error.. I'm already doing an emptiness check! In pristine sources that line is:
if (!empty($location['country']) && location_standardize_country_code($location['country'])) {

this has needed more information for a few months. I'll close it. But if you get more information and still have the problem, please just post back. Thanks.

I wonder if this was related to #431226: Only variables can be passed by reference - location_taxonomy.module: line 43

This looks like it could be a PHP bug
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation
location_standardize_country_code() should never be evaluated if $location['country'] is empty.
