"crash" examines kernel dumps or a running kernel. I doubt it would help
much with a "named" core file. "Proper" Unices typically ship with
"adb", at the very least. If you buy a C compiler, you'll usually get
"dbx" as well. Does "sdb" still exist, does anyone know? That used to be
my debugger of choice, back in my SysVr3 days...
