current-server 1.3.90 traceback [due to PEBCAK error]

[Oops. I just realized I accidentally forgot the part about creating the
current.log file. I'm sending this anyway in case it happens to be
interesting. Now that I've fixed my PEBCAK error, it seems to be working
well. I have less than 20 clients on the server now so it's not getting
much load, at this point in time. Some brief testing shows that it's
clearly faster with even just two simultaneous clients, though!]

The server sees this in its error log:

The clients see this:
