I'm not totally sold on this; I still fairly frequently see weird errors 
from p4d and these help me work out what's going on. For example, at the 
moment if you run a test too quickly after the last one, then it won't 
start up (or something like that).

The problem with hiding the error messages is that I don't think I will 
think to look in this log file if tests start failing.
