warning: Parameter 1 to imageapi_gd_image_reflection() expected to be a reference & PHP 5.3

I tried that solution, however the reflection still is not appearing in the preview. Is there another part to the solution besides removing the ampersand?

Actually removing the ampersand leaves me with the following error. I am using GD2 as my library of choice with the latest imagecache.

The solution that worked was in this earlier issue:
http://drupal.org/node/401694

I'd been using a patched file from the earlier issue; had this error, and just found the ampersand removal appears to have fixed it. [I've also done some ampersand removals to remove errors with fupload/imagefield that also arose after my host upgraded to php 5.3]
So, maybe need both the patch and the ampersand removal.
