Hi,

Recently a service kept crashing on a production box with a SIGSEGV 11. 
So I rebuilt with debug symbols to analyse the core file, by adding 
WITH_DEBUG=yes into my make.conf (gcc -g).

It got me thinking, is there any reason why it would be a bad idea to 
build all my ports with debug symbols from now on? Are there any 
performance hits or security risks with this?

Many Thanks,

Jake
