Well, that's frustrating: No error message in the web server log files to tell me why my sample PDF is nearly blank when it's generated by the test website I set up. (Fortunately, it works just fine on the live system--small mercies an' all...) But, in writing software, there is, in fact, a state that's actually worse than just plain "broken." And that's "broken with nothing to tell you why." One of my former co-workers claimed that the absolute worst is when software works (when it shouldn't) and you have absolutely no idea why. He has a valid point. But tonight, this is plenty of "worse" to deal with, thank you very much.
