Others may correct me if I'm wrong, however if you issue a SIGSTOP or SIGKILL
most programs will coredump will they not? You have to enable core dumping in
your environment using ulimit -c (number in KB).
Plus you should be able to attach gdb if its been compiled with debugging
symbols, and even if it hasn't you will still get some debug control.
