Unknown error code


In vfe/vfesession.cpp, I made a small change to print out the error code (I know I
could have used a debugger for this...):

const char *vfeSession::GetErrorString(int code) const
{
   if (code == -1)
     code = m_LastError;

   switch (code)
   {
     case vfeNoError:
       return "No error";
   .
   .
   .
   }
   // added djconnel Jan2008
   fprintf(stderr, "error code = %d\n", code);

   return "Unknown error code";
}




In vfe/unix/unixconsole.cpp :

void ErrorExit(vfeSession *session)
{
	fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", session->GetErrorString());
	session->Shutdown();
	delete session;
	exit(RETURN_ERROR);
}


Pardon my c++ gross ignorance, but I'm not sure where the value of code is passed to
the GetErrorString(), although somehow it's getting an illegal value....  independent
of the source file.
