So what you should do is:
1. close Ekiga entirely
2. start it with "ekiga -d 4 2>output.txt"
3. do whatever it is that you're trying to do, that is not working
4. close Ekiga
5. there should be a new file output.txt.  Do "ls" in the Terminal 
window and see if it's listed.
6. if you don't know what directory that is, type "pwd" to see your 
current path.
7. compress output.txt using something such as zip or gzip
8. make sure that the compressed file is less than 40KB or it won't get 
to the mailing list.
