That's even easier. "gdb /path/to/program /path/to/program.core" A
debugging executable, built with "-g", lets "bt" give you line numbers
from the C source. You need at least an unstripped exec to get routine
names instead of numbers. You can use the core dump from a stripped
exec with the original unstripped exec in the build directory.
