Vertica 7 linux odbc driver always displays debug message

After upgraded from 6.1 to 7, the odbc query now dumps a lot of debug messages onto console:

I'm using pydbc with vertica v7 odbc driver on ubuntu. This doesn't seem to happen with v6.1 driver. Is there a flag I can set to turn this off?

Thanks,

Jack
