hm, i see what you mean that it isn't really a bug.
however, when mumble fails for whatever reason, a natural approach is to
look at the console output to see what sort of errors are coming up.
This happened to me, and this message spew led me down some time of wild
goose chasing that i would rather have spent actually getting my client
working.
That kind of red herring seems like a misfeature at best.
