Dear Lindsay,

This is not the place to get rid of your frustration.

You are apparently running an unreleased, hardly tested, and very bleeding 
edge installation, which is appreciated for testing, but can also break. While 
we generally try to avoid breaking master, it happens, be prepared to deal 
with it if you want to use and/or test it. We're very open to constructive 
criticism, but it actually has to be constructive.

That said, thanks for the debug output, that's something we can work with.
I'll look into what's going on.

Cheers,
Christian
