Should someone do that? Once I had the idea of
generating a C file containing a __dpmi_regs with the
current state of the registers and compiling it...

And if it hasn't scrolled off the screen yet, you can type (in
this example the program is called `a.out' and I'm at a
Bourne shell)

bash-2.06$ symify ./a.out

and it should print the addresses that were in the
traceback, with real function names. If there isn't debug
info in the executable, it'll just show the addresses.
