When I was setting up the new alpha App Store, I had some problems with my S3 access token.

The error message was printed to the Apache log file (error_log), which I used to diagnose the problem.

However, there were a number of unrelated errors that also got printed to the log. It looks like these errors have something to do with how error messages are getting printed.

This is just a sample.

This needs to be fixed to avoid filling up the Apache log file with error messages that are not related to the initial exception that triggered all of this.
