    Where do things currently stand?

    1. Jekyll on GH is failing to build my latest post.
    2. GH page build failure notices are unhelpful in this case.
    3. My latest post builds fine on win7 32-bit with the following rubies:
    * 1.9.3p415: jekyll 0.11.2 + patched posix-spawn
    * 2.0.0p158: jekyll 0.12.0
    * 2.0.0p158: jekyll 0.12.1
    4. The issue appears to have nothing to do with jekyll on windows and I'm likely to

    I run a patched 0.11.2 jekyll environment (patched posix-spawn) on my local win7 box because of
    breaking changes the devs made in the past that impact windows users. Hard to tell if they even
    tested on windows boxes before pushing. Perhaps things are different with the recent commit activity.

    And no time to confirm whether they're doing the right things for jekyll-on-windows users, or just
    hoping all the recent commits for all the dependencies Just Work.

    After a long hiatus, I just pushed a post (worked on my local 0.11.2 jekyll setup) about Go's
    fantastic cross-build capabilities and was rewarded with this exciting email from GH:

    Subject: [jonforums.github.com] Page build failure
    Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:50:50 -0700

    The page build failed with the following error:

    page build failed

    For information on troubleshooting Jekyll see https://help.github.com/articles/using-jekyll-with-pages#troubleshooting
    If you have any questions please contact GitHub Support.

    Amazing. The phrase you're searching for is...Can this be any less fk'n helpful!?

    Even though the Go post displayed perfectly on my local system, perhaps I did punt the syntax and
    it's my fault. But *no one* will ever know from that pathetic error message.

    Fine. Time to find out what new ways jekyll has found to break things on my windows box. Or discover
    I've got a really bad attitude toward jekyll. The help docs say GH is using jekyll `=0.12.0` so let's
    try a fresh install of the GH configuration:

    installed on my windows box?"

    But no matter, lets test out the new post and find out what's wrong
