Comment #5 on issue 832 by pekka.klarck: Execution crashes if listener
method `message` fails repeatingly
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=832
This issue was updated by revision 547a0f43d5f6.
We decided to fix this so that if calling a listener method fails it is
automatically disabled. This prevents the recursion from occurring when
`message` fails and also causes less noise when any other message fails
every time it is called.
This is slightly backwards incompatible change because earlier failures
e.g. in `start_suite` have been ignored (except for the error message)
but now this method is not called anymore after a failure. We agreed that
it is better that libraries take care of the error handling themselves
and this kind of a minor backwards incompatibility is fine. Needs to be
mentioned in the release notes anyway and thus the bwic label.
