0.0.9.pre6 --list-fingerprint(key generation) for server fails

[tor <tor@algae-world.com>]

Hi all,
       I have a 1-6 mb down and 1-4 mb line up and would gladly 
contribute at least a middleman server
but even though I have followed instructions on the wiki and the 
documentation and have defined the server
parameters in torrc(DataDirectory etc,) when running tor -f torrc 
--list-fingerprint I get 1 line denoting version
and then it stops, at least on Pre5 before it was fixed it listed a 
client fingerprint (either without torrc or with server parameters 
undefined in torrc) with current cvs or pre6,pre5,pre4 and server 
parameters defined and debug going to std-err I get the 1 line(no matter 
if Mac OSX 10.3(pre4) or OpenBSD -current (current, pre4 to pre6), linux 
2.4.20(current, pre-6, pre4) with server parameters define in torrc... 
still the same 1 line output and not populated Datadirectory 
/usr/local/var/lib/tor/ no keys etc...

is it time to break out gdb or is this a known issue


    kind regards
    a wouldbe tor server
