I noted it was a "section" of the file.

I'm unable to relocate the file my sample above was from.
But in a nearly identical file (and many others) there were
two more lines.   No "parsed backup messages" lines though.

Here is a sample pair of final lines:

sendbackup: time 1626.605:  53:    size(|): Total bytes written: 4248924160 
(4.0GB, 2.5MB/s)
sendbackup: time 1626.605: pid 22946 finish time Tue May 30 04:49:40 2006

In no debug files on either 2.4.X client do "parsed backup messages"
lines appear.  Only on the 2.5.0p2 client/server.
