hm, i'm not sure it should go into v2.6.24 without first being exposed
in v2.6.25 for some time - symbol lookup has been historically a bit
fragile (hopefully this will change now) , and the worst thing that can
happen during a crash printout is for the debug code to regress. No
strong feelings though.
