Great, pleased to hear.

Sorry, that is actually a bug which I noticed before, but didn't get
round to fixing. I'll take a look today.

The idea is that the page *will* display minimal information, but it
should be useful minimal information, not the rather useless error that
you received.

If show_errors is true, then it will normally fallback to rendering the
page configured at forward_url (with the error in session.messages), or
if that can't be displayed then it will just bork as standard.

If show_errors is false, then session.messages will display a generic
"An unexpected error has occurred" (configurable) and the full stack
will be in whichever logging dispatcher is configured.
