Unfortunately, an error when starting qgis is indicating a problem with fTools. Below is the text of the error. It appears like the message is cut off at the end, but that was the entirety of the message text in the pop-up window. Any ideas on this?

Hi Carson,

Editing the .py file allows it to load and so far so good. I did a table join, but not much else.

I cannot think of a way to get the entire message on the dialog screen. Debug mode does not dump a message to the console. Any other suggestions?
