Boris, I'd agree with you but this is one of those places where I think we
should bend a bit.  Error and Warning are indications of a failure, and we
should consider special casing them.  I would agree if this were one or two
scripts but I've heard complaints from 3 different companies about this.

It's a minor fix in the grander scheme of things.
