Yup!

Second yup - as long as syslog was running on the target machine.

After stopping the syslog daemon on the target machine, the stacktrace showed 
up on the remote machine. I never saw the stack on the target machine - maybe 
because the machine froze before printing out the stacktrace...

All I can say is that as long as syslog was runing no the target machine, 
nothing happend on the remote machine when the freeze occured.

Maybe, but we suddenly realitzed our problem when we saw the stack dump. so 
there was no need for breakpoints after the first dump.
