The DWARF support is useful with the minimal sections. In fact, most of the AIX systems to which I personally have access do not have the support installed. I don't have control over the patches installed on most of the systems. This is the difference between a server operating system and a personal operating system: most people can install an update on their Mac OS X system, but not everyone can install an update on their AIX system. Many more people can use and test the DWARF support on AIX without requiring the latest update. Thanks, David
