in DDB, "trace" (funny name for it, eh?  8-) will do what you want.
as for dumping the variables, well, DDB isn't quite that
sophisticated (it will show you arguments, though, if you know what
you're looking for).  i'd get out the source to the routine, the assembler
version of the routine, etc., and spend time digging...

those should get you what you need; most of the rest of the 'current'
releases are subsets of allsrc.
