Currently, you can use ktrace and kdump; you need to compile your kernel
with "options KTRACE".

Soon, hopefully, I'll be able to do development, and finish my procfs-based
truss-clone.  (It's got a couple advantages over, and a couple of
disadvantages under, ktrace.  The user program itself is fairly simple and
straightforward, as is the paradigm in the kernel.)
