Yes, you understood :)  I did end up doing bt, but it didn't produce as 
much info as Be's sc did.

Thinking about it, its the Deskbar that caused the drop to gdb.  For 
some reason I recalled that BeOS used to only drop to the kdl when there 
was a kernel panic, I wrongly presumed the same of Haiku, and if I had 
actually thought twice about what was in front of me I would have 
realised it.

Thanks,
