Subject: [PATCH] new version/tarball. Tiny fix in debugger, it turns out that
 in some systems, the command: strings --version used in the debugger results
 in a hang, which you can duplicate with: strings alone, without any argument
 or info, that will hang too, so I assume if the system doesn't have the
 --version parameter, strings ignores that, and basically just does what it
 would do with no option, hang.

Thanks for user ypharis persistence in tracking down this issue. So far only appeared on slackware
based distros, but since the debugger should 'just work', removing the version test.
