I did the following when /usr/tmp/.messages did not exist and the gms
server was down.
% get_message
% tail -4 /usr/tmp/debug-log
Jan 25 21:33:00 Achates get_message[10488]: GMS client started...
Jan 25 21:33:06 Achates get_message[10488]: GMS get server failed, Unknown code gms 17
Jan 25 21:33:06 Achates get_message[10488]: GMS put failed, No such file or directory
Jan 25 21:33:06 Achates get_message[10488]: GMS losing: No such file or directory
2 bugs:
1. I saw no error message on my terminal
2. get_message doesn't initialize the error table, so an error
code was printed instead of a human-readable message
