Pear DB class not PHP5 strict compatible?

Hi, Having heard good things about the PEAR DB package I wanted to try it out on a new project. I'm using PHP 5.0.3, ran the go-pear and installed the latest version but upon including it in my script it brings up rafts of errors such as: Strict Standards: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in D:\dev\php-5.0.3\PEAR\DB.php on line 470 I run PHP with E_ALL | E_STRICT because it's the best way for me to catch all errors and keep my code sensible - do the Pear packages not also work in this environment or am I just out of luck re: the DB package itself? It included and worked fine when I switched to PHP 4, but that isn't an option for this project.
