I have already committed a potential fix for this to the FarCry p230
tree. We needed it for our project and I decided to add it as an
optional parameter which defaults to the current behaviour.

We'll have to see if it makes it into the HEAD branch of CVS, but I
don't see any good reasons why not.

This just requires some careful reporting of where this sort of thing
is happening and which errors are being suppressed that shouldn't.
There are many, many places in FarCry where you definitely do want the
errors to be supressed in all cases and going through all of them one
by one is likely to lead to more problems than it solves. I certainly
intend to make a move to sort out the FarCry error suppression issues
in a reasonable way. Even if the default behaviour is the same as now
if you can change it with an application variable it would be a good
step forward.
