Yeah, if you could take a look that would be great.  I guess my
suggestion is to strcmp() the returned error.name for
"KillSwitch.NotSupported" and if that == 0, don't print anything.  That
just means that the running HAL doesn't support the killswitch
interface, which is true for most people out there now.
