Got it, thanks.

After studying the patch it seems like there's a better way to do it:
we should just log the single parameter that's at fault.  That saves
the user from having to dig through a bunch of parameters to figure
out which one we're complaining about, plus we can usefully identify
the parameter (by number) even if it was sent in binary.

This is a little bit more net code addition than what you had,
but only by ten lines or so.  On the plus side, it doesn't
require rearranging any existing code.
