I've made some changes to DDB which allow debug info to show up in stack
traces. If you are interested, pick them up from
ftp.cs.few.eur.nl:~/pub/386BSD/unofficial/ddb.diffs

The diffs includes changes to dynamically load the symbol table as posted
by Garrett Wollman some time ago. You want these, as a kernel fully compiled
with the -g option on is >4Mb in size. Currently, I only compile a few
selected modules with debugging on.

Cheers,
