Using nulls seem to make a plain carriage return turn on debug.  Here's
a shell script that uses adb to partly overwrite "debug" with 0xff,
which should be safe, since sendmail strips the high bits before
decoding SMTP commands.  It has been tested under OSx 4.4b, and
successfully modifies an OSx 4.1 sendmail binary.
