+	help
+	  Enable this to turn on some debug checking for credential
+	  management.  The additional code keeps track of the number of
+	  pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to
+	  see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred
+	  struct.
+
+	  Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, this also checks that the
+	  security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
