   it seems the feature to directly access the failed build's
   output is broken at the moment.  I will look into this.

Any news on this?  Is there anything i can do to help?

   For now this is the contents of the file you mentioned.

Thanks (again).  Following is a Darwin-specific FYI/FTR
analysis, feel free to ignore.

   # cat LONG-FILE-NAME

   #rcsdiff -kkvl failed

I gather from a brief net.grep that ‘_appleevents’ is one of the
users (daemons) on that system.  Apparently, the fragment:

 case $LOGNAME in
 ?*) me=$LOGNAME;;
 *)
     case $USER in
     ?*) me=$USER;;
     *)
         me=`id -un` || exit 2
         case $me in
         '') echo >&2 "$0: cannot deduce user name"; exit 2
         esac
     esac
 esac

assigns that to var ‘me’, incorrectly.  Maybe the "log" in
‘LOGNAME’ is for event logging?  Anyway, i've installed:

 http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/rcs.git/commit/?id=82a31c93

so fingers crossed...
