It helps a lot for fixing bugs.
I've been testing with the r533200 build and it seems good. I think this oversight warrants a rebuild, of course it should not have any functional change but will make the JDK and HDK useful! I'll hack the script to always include debug info -- we can take it out for the JRE at a later stable build. Regards, Tim
