Coming soon to a theater near you.  The next IRIX major
software release includes support for Berkeley style get
and set rlimits, including "limit coredumpsize".  By
setting this limit large enough to include a process's
stack, dbx will provide you a stack backtrace without you
having to dump a Multi-Megabyte core of your data segment.
