So if I read this correctly, the /etc/system variable will
only be documented in the docs.sun.com docs and not the man
pages. But there's a Committed ::stackinfo (k)mdb command
that will be documented in the man page(s) and ::help, but
it's activation will not be?
I'm not concerned with the content of the case, but how
admins/users/developers/debuggers will put the pieces
together to activate and use it.
