One useful thing to remember is that gdb is completely
non-intrusive. What a lot of people do throughout the
development process is to *always* run under gdb. There is
really no downside in doing this for many programs, and that
way if something happens, you can grab control without needing
to reproduce the problem

As for tracebacks, they have been available for some time on
some targets, and indeed 3.12a will add this capability for
additional targets. To find out the status of traceback support
for various targets now and in the future, contact
