err, so it turns out it was something in my workspace.

I intially checked out into a directory with a space in it (since I wanted
to fix problems with that).  I quickly gave up and just moved my workspace
to a directory without a space, but because I started using the directory
with a space, somehow that directory name was remembered and then reused in
tests/debugging/.

It's only a little bit embarassing.
