Well it is fatal, the backend for that client doesn't continue.
FATAL means a backend died. It is kind of vague how FATAL and PANIC
differ. They both sound like the end of the world. If you read FATAL
thinking it means the whole service is quitting -- ie what PANIC means
-- then these sound like they're noise.
