Hi Brian,
Thanks for the reply; I was just thinking about this yesterday as I came
across another bug with which I wasn't sure what to do. :)

Skimming that IRC log you linked to, that does indeed look like exactly the
info I need. Seems really interesting. I wish I could actually attend a lot
of these sessions, but they're always scheduled while I'm at work. :)

Offhand, do you know if any of the techniques change when I'm working with
non-C (Python, Mono) applications?

Thanks very much!
Andrew
