4. Finally, click the CatBlock button, then Options, then Support on the page that appears. Provide us with the debug info from that page.

<Copy and paste it over this line.>

5. Any other information you think might be useful for us to know?

This is a build error.

What, it still hasn't been seen? I'll try to do it myself then.

[aaronliu0130]

This seems to be somewhat of an internal error.
