It would be nice if these error messages identified themselves as
being from winad.incr, both over zephyr and in the critical.log on
moira (though I beleive those will both be changed by a single code
change.)
As an aside, the number of errors spewed to -c moira by winad.incr has
gotten so large that it is seriously interfering with my ability to
see real errors. I expect I'm not the only one in this position.
