Its pretty obvious when you think about it. The first one is a relative
path, so it was unable to build full path to it, perhaps because you started
the program in the wrong directory but the file still might be out there.
The second one is unambigiously indicated, so its sure that it tried to open
what you wanted and found that it wasn't there.

Subject: Parse Exceptions vs. fatal errors
