I agree with you Chris in so much that a fatal error is really what you do 
about it.

And logging is to support the application. The application is really going to 
be doing something
atypical on a fatal error rather than an ordinary error. This needs to be 
highlighted in the logs.
The level of the log message should reflect the nature of the message.

An error, is an error.  The difference is what you do about it, not what level 
it's logged at.
