/debug size

As far as I can determine, this is not physical disk space, but rather some
sort of virtual disk.  The size allocated to /debug changes as users on the
system do thier work.
Even if you were to remove the files in /debug, you would not gain any
disk space to use for permanent storage, so its probably not wise to do
anything with it.  

So why even show it in the "df" display?

These are just some observations, since no one from SGI offered any advice, I
thought I'd try to help.  Now, if I could just find a fast and reliable 
polygon fill algorithm..
