Unfortunately, some of these errors happen at a low enough level in php
that you can't trap for them (that I've been able to find, anyway). 
memory usage and max script execution timeout are the two most annoying
ones.

As for pulling the listings in chunks, that would definitely help, but
would probably require a MAJOR revision of the code (the query that
pulls up the listings is horribly complex and the code was written so
that it would exist in one place instead of several like it used to
before I took over mythweb).  But I've thought about it.
