I think there's value in being specific.  First time reporters tend to
quote too little when left to their own devices.  When I was more active
in the Gentoo community, I recall many times getting only the
"make[1]:..." lines or the "emerge" bits.  By the time you ask for more,
the data was lost.

thx,

Jason.
