there is no harm or overhead at all in having TOOL_DEBUG set.  if you
don't use the '-debug' flag to a tool, the TOOL_DEBUG setting has
absolutely no effect.

yes.


basically, the TOOL_DEBUG setting controls the "debug level" of the
tools.
that is, if you give the '-debug' flag to a tool, then you will see the
messages specified by TOOL_DEBUG.

and by the way, D_FULLDEBUG isn't the most verbose setting (which i
think is kind of misleading).  D_ALL will give you everything.
