Well, maybe.  My experience with debugger backtraces is that they
sometimes miss certain functions on SPARC hardware, particularly small
ones, because certain compiler optimizations fool the debugger (like not
establishing a stack frame for the function, IIRC).

Jean-Louis might be able to get a better backtrace using pstack(1).

Could be.  When I get a chance I'll look for likely looking entries in
the bug database.
