Jens,

My only problem with this is that I've never used gdb or strace before, 
and while I took a look at gdb last night, it scared me witless.  I 
spent about an hour seeing if I could get gdb to run gedit but despite 
reading the man page and looking at the options I couldn't get gdb to 
give me any output that looked even vaguely meaningful.  In fact I'm 
still not sure if gdb even ran gedit at all.  I appreciate that this is 
down to my stupidity and not any fault with gdb, but I'm not a developer 
and I'm feeling a little out of my depth with this one.  Is there a 
recommended 'beginners guide to gdb' out there for non-developers?

Cheers,

Mark
