I think the current behavior is nice with small programs, but gets unwieldy with larger ones, or when you have debuginfo for the system libraries. Also, the delayed symfile hack would work better with this style of lookup. Maybe we can try this out at some point. I suspect we might find it inconvenient in some situations. Tom
