The issue is that I am between you and someone at a hosting provider. 
This hosting provider interaction is not real time. Thus, I would like 
to queue as many information requests in one transaction as I can.

I've forwarded this request in the interests of some measure of 
efficiency. I will get back to you with the response.

In the meanwhile, is there a useful debug mode or a way to recompile the 
loader with debug code in it? I realize this may not be possible, but it 
never hurts to ask.
