When you patch the binary to remove "debug" you MUST replace the string with
something safe rather than some arbitrary string. The safest thing to do is
change "debug" to "showq" which is another option provided by the debugging
code. Better in the long run to get a new version. I hope everyone is going
to moan at SUN.......
