Something is askew again on Mac OS X.  Like with 0.9.8,[0] I just get 
"error" from runbib after a long pause. Previously with this problem, I 
would at least get a log from the back end to trawl through.  But now I 
don't even get that.  "refdbd -s -e 0 -l 7" produces no output after 
"server waiting n_max_fd=5".  So I guess the lack of debugging is the 
biggest problem here.  The underlying problem may be more simple.

Also, I have a feature request: although the includearg variable can be 
set in the runbib script, it would be better if it could be set in a 
configuration file.  That way, it doesn't get lost whenever the user 
upgrades refdb.  (I need it set in order to raise jade's maximum error 
count since I have many references and the normal "reference to 
non-existent ID" bootstrapping errors come up for each of them.)

Thanks.
