This sounds like what I need.  Nothing fancy (though I do appreciate the 
off-the-cuff design work, Chris :).  So, reading the ddb man page it 
indicates that a break signal should trigger the debugger.  This just caused 
my local terminal to become unresponsive, but my pseudo terminal and bash 
shell remain seemingly happy.  I'm running 1.5.3.  A fair guess that I'm 
going to require these same patches?
