The guider is pretty descriptive about the types of errors it =

failures:

While I agree that John should change the severity of this message, I =
don't think that the observers can reasonably claim that they need =
better definitions of the warning messages before they can be expected =
to react to this.  The guider said:
	Failed to find any fibers in guider flat!
	analyzeFlat failed. Error reading/processing guider flat.
That's pretty explicit.
