Oh yeah, I know that.  But getting that backtrace is going to be a pig. 
Rebuild the package with -g, install, test, get it back off again.  Lather,
rinse, repeat, for all the libraries.  Lack of a testing server is biting me
hard in the arse now.  (Small Uni environments suck).

I'm just lazy, and was looking for the easy answer.

Hey, that's a thought - why don't more applications include a SIGSEGV signal
handler?  <g>  No, I'm not volunteering to code the generic sigsegv signal
handler from hell...
