Sorry, I expressed myself badly. What I meant was that if you want the
debugger to give you all the information you ask for, you need stack tracing.
If you compile without stack tracing, you will get a partial stack trace
consisting of the initial top sequence of stack frames belonging to
modules compiled with tracing, and then a message saying the trace cannot
go further.
Zoltan.
