2.0.2 is out now, but announcements seem to be running slow. There 
aren't any changes to the importing, as far as I know, so an upgrade 
probably won't help you.

I'm a bit surprised that there's no line like "z3950.log.gov:7090 
search done" in there. Can any z3950daemon guru just confirm to me 
whether there should be, please?

To be frank, I've often resorted to network monitors and lots of print 
statements in the daemon to figure out what it's doing. I hope that 
the 2.2.0 daemon works better, but I've not had time to test it yet. 
I'll try to get time in the next few days.

Of course! Thanks for pointing it out. I'll go change the note in the 
2.1/2.2 sources if it's still there.
