I've left the logging part, mind you.  But, unless you have defined
'weak_phase1_check', racoon will just keep on trying.

(I still think that logging an error and then continuing on acting
like it never happened is not "userfrendly", or downright unintuitive,
but I'll go along everybody and do it this way, the amount of work is
still the same either way ! ;) )
