  Run it in debug mode, and see if it calls the "reply_log" module.

  The documentation is clear... sometimes.  That's why I'm writing the
book.  I don't think the book will cover everything, but maybe the
second edition will do that. :)

  In the CVS head (what will be 2.0), you can easily create that format
with the "line_log" module.  In 1.1.5, it's problematic..

  The good news is that I've made major progress today, which shortens
the 2.0 time frame.
