[...lots of output - looks good...]

Hi,

I was wondering if this is still a problem for you and if yes could run with --debug and attach it to the bug report?

I get this on Lucid (and it doesn't seem related to #352568 to me).

I ran with debug, but it produced no more output in the actual bit that fails:
