There's a bug in rbmake that causes it to sometimes not output the
joined HTML page after fetching everything.  I think it happens when
there are failures in the fetched pages -- I should hopefully have time
to investigate this soon.

In the meantime, you can work around the problem by excluding pages from
being fetched.  I recommend creating an option file and editing it.
Start by running the above command with the -d option, and redirect the
output to a file:

rbmake -d -f1 -jio csm-depth1 http://www.christiansciencemonitor.com >csm.opt

Then, edit it and add these lines:

Exclude-URLs-Matching: */event.ng*
Exclude-URLs-Matching: */message.asp*
Exclude-URLs-Matching: */spidertest*

At this point you can run this command to grab the CSM content:

rbmake -l csm.opt

Hopefully that will work for you.
