Maybe not; several of our tests do trigger errlog warning messages from
the facilities they are testing, but I guess when that's expected the
test program should be using eltc to suppress them – there are three
programs in libCom/test and one in ioc/db/test that currently do that.

That would couple the epicsUnitTest code directly to errlog which would
be a bad thing. Currently only some of the test programs will pull in
errlog, whereas the IOC definitely requires it to be present in the
executable.

You're right, that was probably not a good idea.
