I've been receiving the following message for quite a while on my shared server when I use Drush to update the database. However, when I talk to the host site tech support they assure me that the register_globals variable is NOT enabled. I've also installed a php.ini file in the root directory of my Drupal installation and I still have this message, even after I've used update.php from within Drupal.
Is this a bug in Drush?
