Ok, either I've beaten thunderbird into submission, or I'll be submitting a patch to Documentation/email-clients.txt.  (Whether or not I need to find a different smtp server to send this through remains an open question.)

(Confirming: I looked for a more specific DEBUG symbol, but couldn't find one.  I can add one, but this seems a bit small to have its own symbol, and DEBUG_KERNEL is already used in a few *.c files.)

Move an assert under DEBUG_KERNEL.  (Minor cleanup to save a few bytes.)
