I apologize for being dense, but I can't find this code. I've grepped and read 
manually and all I see is the following line in the doctests:

 >>> self.portal.error_log._ignored_exceptions = ()

Adding this line does nothing for my tests, AFAICT. I've tried running my tests 
and reading the log file, but, no surprise, the tests don't seem to have a 
log-writing side-effect. The line above, I think, says all exceptions should go 
to the log, but I can't find a way to inspect the log manually or programmatically.

I'd have thought to find the target code in PloneboardTestCase.py, but all I see 
there is code for the session.

In short, if you have the time to point me to the code segment of which you 
spoke, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks,

Derek
