That might be true, it's still very confusing for anyone else checking
the log... the messages in 659505 are not really helpful (even though
we can argue that the real problem is underlying, it's important that
the user output also helps a random maintainer which has to analyze the
logs sent by a user, and said user might not be able to give the required
context information).
