See initscript/README.stap-server for details.
+- Some of the of the compile server client, server and certificate
+ management tools have been moved from $bindir to $libexecdir/systemtap.
+ You should use the new stap-server script or the stap-server initscript
+ for server management where possible. The stap-server script provides the same
+ functionality as the stap-server initscript except that the servers are
+ run by the invoking user by default as opposed to servers started by the
+ stap-server initscript which are run by the user stap-server
+ by default. See stap-server(8) for more information.
+
+ You may continue to use these tools by adding $libexecdir/systemtap to
+ your path. You would need to do this, for example, if you are not root,
+ you want to start a compile server and you are not running systemtap from a
+ private installation. In this case you still need to use stap-start-server.

- Any output line that starts with "ERROR", as in error("foo"), will
promote a "Pass 5: run failed", and the return code is 1.
