Sigh. So, of course, the naswer is that

	grep xfsdeb *.c

is not a great way to find the initial value, since it's
set across multiple lines:

int xfsdeb = (0
              | X(XDEBDEV)
              | X(XDEBMSG)
              | X(XDEBDNLC)
              | X(XDEBNODE)
              | X(XDEBVNOPS)
              | X(XDEBVFOPS)
              );

Anyhow, I'm still left with the question of why this matters,
and why no one saw it before.
