And if someone who understands these things well is interested,
I'd love to see acid be able to stand in for gdb on OS X as well
as Linux and BSD.  On the x86 machines, the main stumbling
block is that I don't know how to implement process controls like
breakpoints and single-stepping: stack dumps and memory access
works already.  On the PowerPC, I don't even know how to do
stack dumps right.

Even without process control, I use acid far more than I use gdb
on x86 Linux and BSD.
