Why debug version?

[CSGalloway]

Recently MyD stopped unexpectly and I was told to use the debug version and change the debug() to 175 or thereabouts.  What is different between the debug version and the regurlar version, assuming that the settings file is the exactly the same?

The debug version is exactly the same as the regular version, but has some extra data files that contain debug information. With that information it is able to print lines in the debug logfile that say exactly where the program crashed. The downside is that the debug version is somewhat larger (3.6 megabyte as opposed to 2 megabyte), and I have to pay a tiny little bit of money for every megabyte downloaded.
