Hi Jeremy,
I wasn't planning on opening a bug report on this. It's way too
intermittent and no way to reproduce it. Besides, I know you've got more
important showstoppers to work on. The improved logging sounds like a
good first step.
If there is anything I can do to help with debugging (when the time
comes), please let me know.
Best,
Doug
