Sorry, but IMP (webmailer) formats the text itself. I can't produce lines
longer than configured.

getsyms for remote debugging, kldsyms for local debugging and nothing for
crashdumps. Since I asked for ways of analyzing a crashdump, the link to the
handbook helped more. But thanks for ponting me to gdb(4), I hadn't though of
looking there.
