 == Initial Report & Discussion ==
 '''Quoting the person who reported the problem:'''
 ''some background:
 my public-server is some old machine that is apparently unable to even run
 the static binary (it took me a long time to realize that this was the
 case, it started and then just died after a while with the message
 "killed!" i tried building from source, but ghc is to old (6.8.2). to work
 around that i set up an ssh-tunnel from public-server to my local-client
 and run "PortFusion ] 2000 [" here.''
