I run a debug build only only when I try to investigate an error
reported on bug-gnu-emacs or when I have to run Emacs under GDB.  Maybe
optimized builds can deliver acceptable behavior now when run under GDB.
But the last time I tried, behavior was not acceptable.  And what about
our advice that users should run Emacs under GDB all the time to detect
the cause of a crash?

An optimized build runs reasonably fast here so I didn't bother so far.

That's why I wondered that nobody else sees this problem.  Does really
nobody run a debug build nowadays?
