We didn't wire anything to the error out terminal. So we weren't masking it or handling it ourselves. I didn't see an error message at the time.

Greg, I can't answer that other than to say, that the error message was probably missed and the DS log wasn't closely scrutinized. My programming team told me last night, that they did see an error message the next day.

I've got to do a better job teaching this stuff. This is for a team that had zero programmers at the start of build season. I'm not that dissatisfied with where they've gotten given the short time.
