Details

When there's a problem loading a library (e.g. missing symbols), the failure mode is a crash on the assertion "Could not obtain the event queue service", or sometimes just an exit without any crash or any other way to debug the problem. This makes it really difficult for people to figure out what the problem is (especially QA and net people who aren't familiar with the registry and may not have debug builds). We need some diagnostics when there are potentially fatal errors. Printing to stdout would be fine.
Priority: P3 → P2
