Hi Andrew,
Thanks for pointing this out.
I think keeping the parse-failure message under debug_on is acceptable here.
The failure still propagates through the existing NULL return path, and the
malformed-record dump is diagnostic output which matches the current debug
behavior.
If you prefer reporting this in normal mode as well, I think the minimal
change would be to drop the if (debug_on) guard before the existing error
message. Otherwise, I would prefer to keep the patch as-is.
Thanks,
Yichong
