Yes, I had figured that out already and forced the binaries to be 
not-stripped.

I may get there... but right now, I'd just like to be able to get a 
reasonable back trace...

Here's what I'm seeing (which makes absolutely no sense to me):

# file openldap-2.2.26/servers/slurpd/slurpd
openldap-2.2.26/servers/slurpd/slurpd: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, 
Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

# openldap-2.2.26/servers/slurpd/slurpd -d -1
...
.... (a kill -6 is issued against the slurpd pid from another window)
...

# gdb openldap-2.2.26/servers/slurpd/slurpd core.632

With an unstripped binary and all the redhat debuginfo rpm's installed 
for the libraries (other than ldap)... this should show me real 
information... shouldn't it?
