I did my best with the bug report. I had no idea what to put in the comments 
section.

I attached what I hope is a gzip version of the main.log.

I’m a bit gun shy about creating a ticket. Last time it turned out not to be a 
port problem, but something to do with the command line tools; a something that 
I really didn’t understand.

Somehow it seems that tickets should generally be filed by people who actually 
know what they’re doing.
