Is it difficult to have PHP display a splash page for 500 errors?

  =\ I've been talking to HostGator support for 30 minutes and all I've managed to get from them is "500 errors are caused by too many processes running at once." Wow, thanks HG for that little gem right there. Sigh.

      Why would one use Linode over the amazon cloud? Anyway, while I'm sure Linode is very good, your response isn't helpful since I'm sure the grandparent, like me, uses HostGator because they're inexpensive and give you a decent amount of rope. Linode is just too expensive if you just need a basic shared host with ssh access and "unlimited" space.

  The server displays the error pages, not PHP. Its not that hard to customize, and you can have a script do it, but once the misconfiguration page is being shown, your configuration is screwed up anyway. This kind of error usually results from your script not interfacing with the server correctly (like not sending the response code in the right format).
