Do you actually have a use-case for watching for FATAL errors? I don't
offhand know of any examples where that's important for an admin to pay
attention to. FATAL implies a clean exit of the current session, and
we don't really use that for anything except connection startup rejections
of various sorts (like bad password or too many clients already).
