It's also possible that the fault is not in sending (we have evidence here
that two entirely different protocols have not received it, and they are
also not in the archives [1]), but in the generation of the report. Could
there have been a subtle change to the bpo tracker itself, or something
else along those lines, that is causing the script to fail silently before
it ever reaches the point of attempting to send? Or perhaps a disk ran out
of space somewhere?
