These two have been taken care of just now ("why is your server pushing 
it twice?"), but anyway.

This one comes as a bit of surprise - it's logged with M_DEBUG, and I
assumed that this would be something like "verb 3 or 4, or even higher".

Selva, Steffan, or someone else who understands our message levels - 
what's M_DEBUG for, and what *should* I have used here?

Indeed, WARNINGs could also be re-evaluated.  Either we document that
"verb 0" will print errors *and* warnings, or we change the printout
to not print warnings.


Personally, I wouldn't ever run any software with "--verb 0".  I want
to be able to check the log and see "oh, it reconnected tonight at
4:30, so something must have been funny with the network or the server".

Whether I'd use --verb 2 or 4 depends on, indeed, disk space, remote logging
capabilities, unattended operation, and so on.  My servers typically run
with syslog, --verb 4, and logrotate, which takes care of everything.
