The debug messages might indicate whether a problem 'elsewhere' is in fact
triggered by something inside e2, but in this particular case, there's nothing
obvious in the current messages, and no obvious way to decide where more
messages might help.
I've experimented with a bunch of small changes, but sofar nothing has reliably
improved things, except - possibly - compiling without optimisation.

I looked at those - nothing obvious to change.
BTW, another problem with the current code is a sporadic (and for me, _very_
rare) crash after changing out of the temp dir created by the unpack plugin.
This one is similarly elusive. Again, the evidence suggests something going on
outside of e2.
