Dear John, Oh dear - That's a bit of a (nasty) surprise. So where does that leave us? Can we patch (correct) the TDM release somehow so that traceback does work? You tantalizingly offer a glimmer of hope when you write "with those packag= es, symbolic traceback will work" which sort of suggests that if we take so= me packages from somewhere and perhaps build something using them, then al = will be well - which then raises the question as to why TDM (or someone) ha= sn't applied these fixes to FSF, especially as your work doesn't seem to be= new. I am astounded that people can use a system that doesn't provide a tracebac= k - how on earth can you debug? If it is possible to fix the FSF version, can you help me do that? Best regards, Ahlan
