Re: need to get core from sendfax

OK, prompted by this problem, here's a smple gdb wrapper you can use to
"wrap" a program and get a core/backtrace, etc from a program:
	http://people.ifax.com/~aidan/hylafax/gdb/

So using that, you could SendFaxCMd to ".../faxsend-wrapper" and have it
generate stuff in /tmp/faxsend-*.*.

Be careful, no tmp file checking, etc...
