I'm leaning in that direction as well now. I think we could address
Robert's concern about startup chattiness by downgrading the other
mentioned messages to DEBUG1. I will check, but I'm pretty sure that
there is already adequate logging for subprocess startup failure ---
and if there is not, that would be a bug in itself.
