I remember that it was roughly:

1. ??? ()
2. ??? ()
3. ??? ()
4. ??? ()
(etc.)

=)

no debug symbols were on the system for glibc, libstdc++, or for apt. =)

If it's worth it, I can reproduce the environment by recompiling
things with debugging symbols on Dapper, then doing the upgrades,
making sure all the builds have the symbols they need.  I'm not
certain that I can do this before Sprout is likely to show up because
of the rebuilds, so it's a longer term project.
