This is the output of running venus with the -init flag:

This is the appropriate info from the /vice/srv/SrvLog file (based on
relative timestamp):

10:54:32 Building callback conn.
10:54:32 RevokeWBPermit on conn 11e25f0f returned -2016

And that's it!  Hope that helps.  It appears that the last line (vrent::
