I was going to make this suggestion myself, but Max beat me to it. ;-) Definitely -CURRENT should default to building with symbols. I've spent too much time going back to re-build specific pieces with symbols in order to debug issues in -CURRENT. For releases, I think there's a good argument to leaving symbols off (CD space is still rather dear). For stable, I could go either way. Tim
