There is some confusion here - both mine and yours. The documentation
for -d says "A value of zero turns debugging output off and is the
default", but I'm not sure that I have implemented that entirely
consistently, so that your -d0 might have odd effects.
Anyway, I have checked out the code, and can confirm that it was indeed
the change that I referenced that has this effect. It is printing out a
message because you have turned debugging on. If you don't do that, it
will just fail the condition.
