Got it.  Thank you for pointing this out.  (It has been years since this
code was written, and I forgot...)  :)

I'm confused now.  Where do you see a mismatch?  Both outputs look the
same to me, unless I am missing something.

Yes, it does, now that you had refreshed my memory.

The log files are not retained automatically, unfortunately, however
I will be sure to share the logs from this week's snapshot builds
(should they fail again).

I have to be very careful about making log access "easy", due to
information contained within, such as API keys/tokens/etc., which is
embedded for debugging purposes, but not at all intended to be public.
