set STP_DEBUG_STARTUP=true in the environment, and then you can attach
gdb to the print process.  It will busy-wait at startup; you'll need
to set SDEBUG=0 before the program will run.

The binaries are stripped, so you will probably need to build your own
packages and not strip them (disable dh_strip in debian/rules).

I'll also take a look, but it will probably not be for a week, since
I'm tied up this week.


Regards,
Roger
