The MacsBug (debugger) switch should dump you right into ddb. What
did you see?
Just for grins, I tried typing the same Xconq command again (into an
xterm, but still running the curses interface), and this time I got
a real db> prompt! Still same pid and pc as last report, but then
I typed "show map", it printed 5917b, and hung again...
Any hints as to useful things to look at in ddb?
