I have retested nimitz_demo.xml, and I cannot reproduce any bug here. It's
been unchanged now for over a year, and if there was one I think someone
would have noticed before now. I suspect that the debug message you are
seeing is a symptom of a bug elsewhere in your build. 

Have you checked that you have a clean download of the file, and that read
permissions are correct?
