Looks like the build type is getting set to Debug in the rtt_ros_integration_std_msgs CMakeLists.txt, so I was wrong about that -- I was assuming the default wasn't getting overridden. In general nothing should be released in Debug, and we discourage setting it in the CMakeLists.txt because it's easy to forget and check it in. Josh
