Hey Dan.  Check out this post:

I think that trick may be infinitely more useful in debugging the kind  
of class of problem you're describing.

Your call for developer support is not falling on deft ears and I can  
sympathize with the burden of support after a piece of software is  
written.  #{job} + #{real_life} + #{oss_time} ?  Guess which gets  
squeezed first.  The economics of open source suck on the development  
side of things.  :-/  -sc
