Solution:
--------

Apparently in 3.2c 'as' stopped emitting some debugging records when
debugging is not selected. The patch below should fix it. Please let
me know if it works or not--I haven't had a chance to try it on the
release 3.2c, and I'd like some confirmation that it works before
distributing it more widely.
