Hm. We could possibly reduce those particular messages to FATAL.
OTOH, it's not unreasonable that seeing those messages *in the field*
might be an appropriate situation for a core dump. I think as
developers we sometimes have a skewed sense of what's common ;-)
Ever since Bruce introduced the additional elog levels, I have felt it
would be a good idea to go through all the elog calls and re-evaluate
what levels they should have. It's a lot o' work though...
