OK, I'm definitely throwing exceptions. Here is the log file, after just a few
minutes:

-------------------------------------------------------------

(<class exceptions.NameError at 0x816f5e4>, <exceptions.NameError instance at
0x81d2b24>, <traceback object at 0x81d2af8>)


*****My Error Separator line****


(<class exceptions.NameError at 0x816f5e4>, <exceptions.NameError instance at
0x81d2b24>, <traceback object at 0x81d2af8>)


*****My Error Separator line****


(<class exceptions.NameError at 0x816f5e4>, <exceptions.NameError instance at
0x81d2b24>, <traceback object at 0x81d2af8>)


*****My Error Separator line****


(<class exceptions.NameError at 0x816f5e4>, <exceptions.NameError instance at
0x81d2b24>, <traceback object at 0x81d2af8>)

-------------------------------------------------------------

I don't see how to track this one down. Can someone give me a tip? Something
to point me in the correct direction?
