I managed to figure this one out on my own. When compiling with
-DDEBUG it changes the name of the startup event from "startup" to
"debug". I'm guessing there is a logical reason for it (e.g. loading a
slightly different version of the normal startup script). Hmm,
actually thats a really good idea; saves me mucking around with the
production scripts.
