   I'm not sure I can help with the communicator usage, though might,
   but if you send me the the start of the SIOD errors: you

Send it to both Alan and me. I'd want to see a dump of both the unit
tester and the festival server. 

Oh, actually, I already know what the problem is. I'm almost positive
that the problem is that the unit tester doesn't do brokering. This
isn't documented anywhere, I now realize - I simply forgot to mention
it, for which I apologize. I'm not sure how precisely the problem is
manifesting itself, but if you send me the Hub program file you're
using it'll probably be obvious to me immediately.
