Andrea, is it possible to have debug level 1 produce only the debug
info within the generated code, and leave the pseudo-code dump for
higher levels?  If you don't have time to implement this yourself, can
you instruct me what changes need to be made?  I'd like to try
recompiling everything with debug level 1 and see if that helps with
the backtraces.

Thanks.
