"log file" is more correct, but then that leads to grouping issues
(which are already there because "two pass" is being used as an
adjective but isn't joined with e.g. a hyphen) which can be very hard to
solve.

I take it this is in reaction to the discussion over on -user with
"Viaduct Productions"?

As a fix for that issue I'm not terribly happy with this, particularly
since he(?) hasn't said "yes, this would have avoided confusion as far
as I was concerned" or similar, but I don't have anything solid to base
objections on.
