> Is it reasonable to ask people to install GDB just to get a traceback?

If people are getting tracebacks, the best course of action is to
debug and hopefully fix the problem.  GDB is a better tool than symify
for this.  If we had had core files all along, symify would never have
been written.

At worst, the user could send the core file to the application
developer so that *they* could debug it.
