Now that I'm getting into ddb, I found that it usually displays function names - except when I'm in a loadable module. Is that my fault or ddb's? Also, is there work going on to improve DDB? Having local variables would be really nice (I would not care about the complete debug taking up several MB), and source access would be just great (probably on user request, to disable any side effects that loading the source would have). Thanks, Martin
