Oh, yes.  You're absolutely right.  Sometimes I forget that you can
build without -O :-)

I've always thought it should be an option.  But never got up the nerve
to sit down and implement it.

Any chance of just discarding symbolic debugging and debugging the exit
path at the assembly level?  Or maybe just find out where exactly it's
core dumping and try work towards a solution from there?
