Thanks for the suggestions.  Don't really have a second machine handy
as this is running on a notebook with the maximum hardware config,
60GB 7200rpm hard drives, 2GB RAM.  Thanks for the link the the
developers handbook since I think the dump device will work except my
swap device is 256MB while I have 2GB of physical memory so that won't
work.  Is there a way to just output the trace and other things to a
text file instead?

Cheers,
Vince
