>> Error during error processing
This is probably the result of a programmer knowing he has to write the
error messages before dawn that day and he's got 250 of them to write.
Only once have I been allowed to edit error messages. We were developing
documentation for a new product and the product was still being changed.
The programmers seemed to appreciate the help.
