When Labgrid crashes for some reason, the output is currently lost, so
it is not clear what happened. I suppose Labgrid is not supposed to
crash, but...

As a starting point I have erred on the side of more output rather
than less. I have found that to be very helpful when developing it,
but I am sure we can refine it once it is stable.
