Is there a way to generate a brief view of the stack without dumping
entire core?

attach gdb to the process?

This isn't an option because it's in "production mode" and only in the
event of an exception I need a stack trace.


How about generating a core file which is truncated to a
given size?

using ulimit?

When I use ulimit, instead of getting a truncated core, I seem to be
getting none at all. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks a lot for replying Jasen.
