Subject: Pine leftovers!?!

I keep getting files called .pine-debug1,2,3, etc. left over after
quitting Pine.  Have I inadvertently switched into a 'debug' mode, and if
so how do I switch back out again?

Ta!

It sounds like you are either using one of the pre-compiled binaries 
available on the Net, or are using a version compiled locally with the 
'-DDEBUG' C flag left in.

These default to producing the .pine.debug[1-4] files.

You can stop them from being generated by starting Pine with the '-d 0' 
command line option (it tells you this in the man page for Pine).

A better solution is to get the source code for Pine and recompile it 
without the '-DDEBUG' C flag.  This will cause the debug code to be 
omitted from the binary.
