Description Randy Witt 2015-04-28 19:49:17 UTC 
The exceptions in bitbake_main() created by BBMainException() do not notify the user. It is a silent failure.

An easy way to test this is by doing "bitbake --server-only" and notice that no error message appears.

This regression appears to have been caused by commit 4e186596338af52bf720dcbbdd3a07b722cf9575.
