Errors swallowed when using --eval

vm.runInContext throws an Exception if it has an error while evaluating code passed to it.
I think something like this would mostly fix the problem you're describing:

That's perfect, and thanks for the fast response. I guess one of us should submit a pull request with that code.

Take a look at the commit above - I've implemented this in a more generic way so that all plugin preStart and postStart errors are logged, including stack traces if possible.

Looks great — thanks.
