When you give sftp-server a bogus -l or -f parameter, it logs a useful
error message then blunders on to call log_init() with the bogus value.
log_init() then prints a less useful message to stderr and exits. The
following patch tidies this up by only printing the more useful error to
stderr and not blundering on afterwards.
