Well, do you *hear* any chickens? Huh? Do ya? Do ya?
No?

I think I remember noticing that backtracing across sigfe doesn't always
work too well. Then again, there could be a problem with the debug info:

makes no sense. But I would imagine the peculiarity is down to sigfe; it
does something unexpected to the stack frame, that the debug info doesn't
reflect.

Debug yes; unoptimised, I think not, although we'd need cgf or cv to
confirm how the snapshot process works.

I don't know what --enable-debugging does myself, never having used it.
What I'm saying is that you really have to build the dll yourself. The
snapshots are probably built with the standard -O2 setting. (I don't ever
expect debugging to work when I start moving executables around; I build and
debug on the same machine with all my source and binaries in one place.)

I think the operator-> isn't the real source of the problem... it's what
leads up to it.

Yeh, I really just mention that one for the archives. I had to figure it
out for myself the other day.
