Archive.php stopped working after 2.1.0 Upgrade (no replies)

Anyone having problems with auto archiving with this upgrade? Worked fine on previous version, having upgraded I now have to reloy on browser updates as I get errors.

PHP's error log shows "Directive 'safe_mode' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0" and I get this output if I run archive.php in a browser window

I have lifted memory to 2GB just in case but no difference. My php is 5.3.3. I can update but not without pain as this box has several e-commerce sites running different software versions.

Anyone else in the same boat?
