... Well largely, ALL I want is the backtrace -- and I'm wondering if I could cobble something together that could get it. The problem is it needs to look at the symbol table, and I dont know how to get at that via C -- ie, gdb doesnt have an interface that I know of that you can link in to grab a stack trace and exit. I seem to remember that one can define gdb commands that are executed whenever the program stops.
It this were true, we could activate such a definition in a ".gdbinit" file and then run the program. When the Python stops due to a signal, the command would be activated. It would make a backtrace followed by a quit. Not sure, it will work, though... Dieter
