	In an earlier email to the newsgroup, you gave a link for the binary
(since I can't find 1.1a6 on the official site, I'll assume that link is
still the most recent version).  Where can I grab the source version of
1.1a6?

	You explained to me that running the Trace Collector externally had
known issues with Vista and Win7.  That rules that out, leaving the only
option to be trying to modify the source to allow file logging.  I posted
the exact changes I made.  At this point, you'd have a far better idea than
I as to why it would still fail to create the log files.

	But for what it's worth, in prior emails, I gave you some of the
error messages that were being logged (via the internally run Trace
Collector).  The only thing I can think of is that those errors might be
causing these issues - perhaps all of them (loading, executing, and
logging).

	To my recollection, you never mentioned pursuing any of them.
Perhaps they're worth looking into, at this point.

	I did that with 1.1a4, at your request.  There was no difference
whatsoever.  I'll give 1.1a6 a shot once I get the source.
