That's always the best place to start. Adding a very verbose log puts in 
a /lot/ of information that may (and often does) just get in the way of 
finding the issue--i.e. makes the haystack several times (or with -v 
all, an order of magnitude) larger.

Note, also, that generally when diagnosing issues, you should start at 
default verbosity, and only add additional |-v| options when requested 
(or, if diagnosing the issue yourself, after determining that the 
default verbosity logs do not show any information helpful in diagnosing 
the issue). If you instead start with a too-verbose log setting (such as 
|-v all|), important messages will get buried in the noise.

That's been there for years, but it seems no one has actually listened.
