+ *              line_number     - Caller's line number (for error output)
+ *              Pathname        - Full pathname to the node

+ * DESCRIPTION: Info messages for the predefined validation module. Messages
+ *              are only emitted the first time a problem with a particular
+ *              method/object is detected. This prevents a flood of
