When the -O option is used to control an ssh process over the master
socket, it is not affected by quiet mode:

chrisb@telly:~$ ssh -M -S test.ctl -f -N pie
chrisb@telly:~$ ssh -q -S test.ctl -O exit pie
Exit request sent.

The manual defines quiet mode as:

     -q      Quiet mode.  Causes all warning and diagnostic messages to
		 be suppressed.  Only fatal errors are displayed.  If a second -q is
		 given then even fatal errors are suppressed, except for those
		 produced due solely to bad arguments.

The above message is clearly not a fatal error, but is displayed anyway.
