I think I've tracked this down to bitbake rev 
c9f58ef6b897d3fa5b0d23734b5f2cb3dabb057a "cooker: add missing shutdowns to the 
exception handling". The actual error occurring here is "ParseError: Could not 
inherit file classes/klibc.bbclass", however with the aforementioned change to 
cooker.py, sys.exit(1) gets called within self.shutdown() before the bb.fatal 
line that used to print out the error, thus no error message is printed.

Chris, should we just change that bb.fatal line to a bb.error and put it 
before the self.shutdown?
