OK, I was off a bit on that one.  I see now that there is a  
configurable Error Handler that defaults to WAWalkbackErrorHandler.   
As a quick hack, if I redefine WAWalkback>>initializeWithException:  
like below, then I get what I want.

initializeWithException: anException
	| context |
	exception := anException.
	context := anException signalerContext.
	FileStream oldFileNamed: '/dev/stderr' do: [:file |
		file lineEndConvention: #lr.
		file wantsLineEndConversion: true.
		context errorReportOn: file].
	frames := OrderedCollection new.
	[ context isNil ] whileFalse: [
		frames add: context.
		context := context sender ].
	limit := 5 min: frames size

So what I need is a custom ErrorHandler that prints a simple  
acknowledgment message and logs the error.  I think I can handle that.

While I am here, let me switch to a Pier question real quick.  How  
can I generate an error page that uses the header and footer of site?

Thanks,
David
