I've asked about this before, but to reiterate: what I'd really like from 
this message is some indication of whether the processor did actually 
recover or not - for example I seem to get that message when a block (say a 
table) was too large for a page and got split over multiple pages - that for 
me is fine, where as dropping content off the right of the page is not.  IMO 
the more info you can put into the error messages the better.
