Ooops

I'd have been surprised if it did work actually.  Until last night, I
didn't have aserve installed.
I did that last night and can confirm the lack of output you were
seeing.  I was getting some
errors being written to standard out though so I worked through a
couple of these.

By default, aserve catches errors so to turn debugging on, you've got to

(net.aserve::debug-on :notrap)

If you want to hang on till later tonight, I'll give you another zip
that should work (that's also
been updated to use the name openair rather than hunchncells).
