What should I do here?  It's consistently failing.  What information 
should I gather to forumulate a PR that won't burden the assignee with 
lots of troubleshooting mess?  The machine is not in production, but there 
is user data on it.  I could allow a trusted developer access to it, or 
even create another jail to illustrate the problem.

Thanks,
