Btw I think this might be an accident, in mars.c there's this 
code:

    if (global.params.release)
    {   global.params.useInvariants = 0;
        global.params.useIn = 0;
        global.params.useOut = 0;
        global.params.useAssert = 0;  // <-- note
        global.params.useArrayBounds = 1;
        global.params.useSwitchError = 0;
    }

However then it's followed by this code:

    if (global.params.useUnitTests)
        global.params.useAssert = 1;

So it's switched off and then on again. I can't tell if this was 
deliberate or not. If it's on purpose it should be documented.
