I'll try pstack core. It's not something I'm familiar with. I'm used to using the regular debuggers, but maybe it will work when dbx won't and gdb isn't available. There is the minor issue of cooperation from the developers. I got *none* when I set up to fix things previously. Not so much as

In light of the use cases for format(1m) I find it difficult to imagine why it would need to communicate with anything else other than to assert a mutex to prevent other processes from doing something stupid while it ran. I have the most recent monographs on FreeBSD, Solaris Internals and ZFS
