I didn't make myself clear enough on that I guess. :(

That said, I've dug as deep as I feel comfortable with, so jump right 
in Jon and see if you can help out.

There is also an env var that can be set which will multiply the 
verbosity of the debugging logs considerably.  But I haven't used it 
in ages, so I don't know the name or the exact syntax to use it.  
There could be a reference to it in the docs dir of the archive.
