As of Magento 1.4, in an effort to increase the security of Magento eCommerce, the developers at Varien have added in new features like this one.
‘Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons’
This is nothing to worry about and is simply part of a new security feature added by Varien. In previous versions, all exception messages would display to the user on the frontend. Sometimes, this exceptions (and their trace message) would reveal information to a would be attacker that may help them carry out malicious activities against your site. To combat this, these messages are not hidden by default and have been replaced with this message.
