i think a better fix might be:
(1) add error counters for those types of errors (so that
the admin could find out how many of them there were
if they _really_ wanted to know), and
(2) make the printf #ifdef LEDEBUG and dependent on
sc->sc_debug.
the only problem with that is that they're not really 'debugging'
messages, but neither do i think they should always be printed if
DIAGNOSTIC is defined. (I also think that the counts should probably
be kept in any case...)
