Yep, it is really weird.  Gavin didn't want to have separate routines to
validate the various flags, so all the "level" messages can take all the
possible values, and there is no 'off' so "panic" seems the best.
only meaningful ones.

I now realize panic isn't really off, but I don't expect panic to happen
too often.  :-)
