	I'm not sure what to call that. Perhaps it's a "non-feature".
	If you read through "src/conduit.c", you'll find the function
cond_readstatus(), which reads a status line from the conduit, verifies
it, and then says

	/* XXX - Do something intelligent */

Currently, the stuff that the conduit prints to stdout is ignored, except
to determine whether a conduit exited normally or not.
	You can still print 101 messages, but they're not used in the
current version. For now, if you really want to show something to the
user, you can write to stderr, but obviously this only works in standalone
mode.
