The problem is, I've experienced severe difficulties debugging balsa  
with gdb. The balsa threads mess gdb up, often leaving balsa hanging  
and gdb asking for permission to dump core. Now, I could disable  
threads, but as some other people on the list have noticed, quite a few  
of the problems just dissappear when threading is disabled. So most of  
the stack traces I've managed to produce are ones where I attach to an  
already hung balsa process.

Hmm, I wonder if running with --disable-crash-dialog will give core  
files straight up?

I'll keep trying,
