getting useful backtraces via -dbgsym packages

[Jim Campbell]

Jani,

I have a rather odd setup with 448mb of RAM.  It is only on a PII-400
machine, though.  Perhaps that could be part of the issue if you are
concerned about computing power.

I am drafting a message to the listserve to recruit a few more testers.  As
of now, I am the only one to report test results on the beta images that
were released yesterday.  Hopefully we can see if others are having similar
problems.

Thank you for your help!

Jim
