What error message did you get and wouldn't it be better to kill them where it
origins or to issue a final "%n empty geometries skipped" instead of logging
individual errors. 

Alternatively we could issue a "last message repeated %n times" in message log
to make it behave better - although that only works the error message are
identical.
