This "debugger" doesn't seem to be a debugger at all, but just a help window with a backtrace in it. If it is a debugger, then perhaps etc/DEBUG should say how to use it, and if it isn't, then perhaps etc/DEBUG should say so? Also, can one use `M-x gdb RET' in the same instance of Emacs that one wishes to debug? I can think of good reasons why this might not work, so I almost expect that it doesn't, but, on the other hand, it would be convenient if it did work. So perhaps etc/DEBUG should explicitly say that it can or cannot be done? Thanks. N.
