Yeah, I got the names mixed up. Now we can be embarrassed together.

When I first tried to use it and it failed, I thought it had something to do 
with that note in g-trasym.ads about shared libraries. I thought maybe 
symbolic traceback would only work in statically linked programs or 
something. Apparently Dmitry read it in a similar way. Maybe others also 
read it that way, and therefore didn't report the problem.
