does FPE toggle Debug level?

The kludgy way I handled this on our (4.2) uucp was to redefine
DEBUG in uucp.h.  I just changed it to

#define DEBUG(l,f,s) if (Debug >= 1) fprintf(stderr, f, s); else \
	debugentry(1, f, s) <-- That first argument is a one.

debugentry was a routine I wrote that appended the stuff onto
a file called DEBUG in the uucp spool directory.  I then do a
"tail -f" of DEBUG whenever I want to monitor the progress of an
ongoing uucp transaction.  It can get slightly hairy when there
are more than one uucp transactions going simultaneously, but I
haven't had any real problems so far.

It isn't pretty, but it works.
