Debugging spew obscures output of PingPong menu

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Boot the image under VMware Player
2. Hit "Enter" to bypass GRUB
3. Hit "G" at the Debugging Server prompt
4. Observe that debug menu output is dumped into the
i9-0.0.0-Serial-Debug.log file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the menu for selecting an IPC type to test. I just see the
Debugging Server spray instead.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

A new kernel has been built, with the debugging server disabled. I have not got 
round
to testing it, though.

Given that we now have Prelude, complete with an initial working version of
GenodeKit, there is no need to continue with PingPong, although others are free 
to
play with the source code and our binary.

According to 
https://lists.ira.uni-karlsruhe.de/pipermail/l4ka/2003-May/000359.html
(archived at Iterasi as http://sqrl.it/?6pr7y), compiling the L4Ka::Pistachio
demonstration userland with "$(SRCDIR)/users/configure --without-comport" will
resolve the issue, at the expense of disabling serial ports for the demo 
userland. I
will test this, and release a new binary, if this is correct.
