None that I can think of. I had stripped the executables of debug
information, but not all symbols.

I am a little confused by what people mean when they say 'stripped'. Do
they generally mean stripped of debug information or stripped of all
symbols?

I am uploading completely stripped binaries to DJ now. Thanks for spotting
this.

Bye,
