   To clarify -- my purpose is to cause `sqlcmd' to terminate   
   with non-zero error code and to send the output to STDERR in   
   on errors of severity 11 or highter, and to continue   
   exeuction and send output to STDOUT otherwise.  I believe my   
   invocation is should achieve that end, does it not?
