Not currently; each build overwrites the previous log at the
moment. That could be changed, but I've not looked into it yet.

Yup. The problem is in the guts of the HFS hybrid code in
genisoimage. This has happened before occasionally, and has triggered
for a couple of days here but now (fingers crossed) things are working
again. The reason we're using a custom genisoimage on pettersson is
just to have the latest release code running on a stable host; it's
just a local lenny backport.

If this happens again, I'll try to take a look while things are
reproducible. Ick, I hate this code and it's one of the last things
that we can't replace with non-Schily ware. :-(

I'll mark it as important for now as it's gone away... :-)
