​That's what I was suggesting it be used for. Basically what I was curious
about was whether or not any of the GB tests in our test suite hit the code
path where dr didn't get initialized. If it did, that would seem (to me)
to be clear evidence that that code path is not illegal/unusual (i.e.,
indicative of bad parameters). If that printf is never triggered during
the test suite, the parameters may be unusual. I certainly wasn't
suggesting it be left in permanently. I'll take a look if I have time.

​I saw the commit log :).
