The issue of a 2.1.10 patch release has become a bit complicated. There
are a few other minor changes, and a new cron I have implemented to
cull old entries from the bad and shunt queues. This goes a bit beyond
a patch release.

I have just returned from a vacation and am still trying to catch up,
but my plan is to release what may be thought of as a 2.1.10 patch
release, but to call it 2.1.11. This should happen before the end of
this month.

Regarding 'silent' problems - consider running Brad Knowles' daily
status report (mmdsr). You will find this in the contrib directory in
the unpacked tarball. It will report errors like this.
