I disagree. The debug feature is a standard Pine behaviour. I was very
surprised disappointed when I discovered that I couldn't use the debug
option at all (I was having some problem with Pine and the SMTP server
(exim), and I would like to check the .pine-debug? files to see what was
going on.)
Therefore, I think the -DDEBUG flag should be turned on by default. If
some user is annoyed with the .pine-debug? files, they can always use the
-d 0 option. At least, let the user make the decision instead of
eliminating the -d option entirely.
