I don't think it's a specific file. I think the issue is that it only
happens the first time you run the new distiller. Try removing
new-distill from ~/.sw_messages and you should be able to reproduce
the problem; I was able to.

buzzword-bingo is one of the new dialups.
On an only somewhat related note, the new distiller is abhorrently
slow. I don't remember it being this slow before the upgrade.
