The progress window displays:

2011-03-04 14:54:18 -0500 tlu_ipctask	running fmtutil-sys --no-error-if-no-format --byengine tex ...

Oddly enough, if I select the line in the progress window and paste it it says:

2011-03-04 14:54:18 -0500 Error tlu_ipctask[35529]	running fmtutil-sys --no-error-if-no-format --byengine tex ...
