Once again, the internet proves to be one of the best tech support
lines around. The fix arrived in my mail box within an hour after I
posted the request.

Here is the solution from Dan Riley at Cornell. It has been working
for a lot of our customers.

Apparently in 3.2c 'as' stopped emitting some debugging records when
debugging is not selected. The patch below should fix it. Please let
me know if it works or not--I haven't had a chance to try it on the
release 3.2c, and I'd like some confirmation that it works before
distributing it more widely.
