I don't think 10 is enough. Wash has a buildworld problem on current 
and, on his listing, you would only make it about half way through the 
error 1 messages and may miss the one that means something.

I log for a different reason. If you had one die and I didn't, I want to 
be able to show you that I made it past where yours errored off.
