Uh, don't take this the wrong way, but:

KGDB is capable of doing everything you want, and does it in a much,
much nicer environment than DDB.

You can even write scripts for it...

If your favorite port doesn't support debugging with KGDB, it's
probably best to either fix it or badger somebody into fixing it.


DDB may be nice when you've got a single isolated system, but except
in that case, I have no idea why anyone would _ever_ want to use it.
