I'm not really insisting on a redesign.  I'm talking about the places
where the code author appears not to have understood that ERROR means
FATAL, because the code keeps plugging on after it anyway.  As far as
I can see, using ERROR at lines 3630, 3657, 3674, and 3693 is just
plain bogus, and changing to LOG there requires no other fixing.
