Perhaps I made a mistake:
I #defined DEBUG in all header files and added these lines at Daemon.xs:955
                        {
                            char szBuffer[256];
                            sprintf( szBuffer, "Main thread ID: %lu",
gMainThreadId );
                            ALERT( szBuffer );
                        }

and these at Daemon.xs:918
        {
            char szBuffer[256];
            sprintf( szBuffer, "Started for reason: %lu", fdwReason );
            ALERT( szBuffer );
        }

but none of the messages appear in the debug output file.

Is there something wrong with this?


I also verified that the patch definitely works - and since I tried two
different versions of Strawberry Perl I don't think that it's my fault
in any way.
