[Ardour-Dev] debug instructions need debugging

[michael noble]

hi all,

In all the recent hullabaloo about debugging, I thought I'd check out the
instructions on Ardour.org. I don't know if it was deliberate, and it may be
just my warped sense of humor, but I find the first paragraph amusing. This
is what it currently says:

I can't quite pinpoint the actual problem, but I'm guessing it has something
to do with duplication.
