Yes - The Debug() statement was returning 1, so the "explicit" Perl code
that the [if] tag was being asked to evaluate was "1\n1". That's "1"
from the Debug() call, returned by the [calc], "\n" (line feed) from
the comparison code and "1" from [userdb].
I've patched Interchange's Vend::Util module to prevent the Debug()
statement from returning a value. This will help prevent future
debug-related "gotchas". The patch can be found here, if you want to
apply it to your current setup:
