That's good, but that is only a simple example of the problem of debug code
side effects, and you may have a more complex case of the same problem.

I understood that.  It appeared certain of your needed functions were not
defined at all.  My guess is a conditional compile is skipping them.  Is
that due to some side effect of debug code (not just assert statements!)
that was removed by the -DNDEBUG option?
