It appears that "t" is the command to use here.  The first one is in:

http://www.m5p.com/~george/pi/trace1.txt

along with kernel.tbz, which includes my /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols,
/boot/kernel/kernel, and kernel/kernel.gz.tramp (don't know what that
is, but my tar command picked it up).  Perhaps that will help decipher
the addresses in the backtrace.  This one occurred while I was
re-running "portmaster -BDg devel/glib20" under the script command to
see why the whole "gio" include directory isn't getting installed.
Using MALLOC_PRODUCTION=yes doesn't seem to have cured this problem
