do ERR messages imply bugs?

This is all well and good, but I'm seeing this errors from pretty much any
3D application. Not that all these 3D apps work flawlessly on Wine to begin
with - haven't seen one yet. But it's been a policy to ignore all messages
from Wine until user can show the real problem. So far no tests fail - and
that is the only acceptable "problems" from tests.
