Yeah, but I guess the constraint is that you have to run/process it in some 
sort of what would normally be considered programming environment ;)

So, the error message approach, being a non-palindromic quine, will work with 
many compilers in fact.

I guess the contest designers have to decide one way or the other on the "it 
must be a correct program" constraint.
