Yeah, we occasionally add them into our local trees depending on the
compiler in use at the time for debugging purposes. This sort of thing
kills alpha, since it doesn't mask these by default, so we always get 
the alpha guys reporting this sort of bug :-)

In this particular case, I think it's just debugging code that can be 
safely removed (and won't be in any releases anyway). Since CVS doesn't
work all that well anyway at the moment, it's not a big deal. 

Thanks for the bugreport anyway.
