Yes, this sounds like a good idea. It should be printed right before the offending call so people will see it. The system does not hang hard therefore people should be able to retreive their log. On the other hand they may not know how to do it in this case. Sill, such a message may be worthwhile. I will add it together with the changes Alan suggested.
