Kernel backtrace possiblities

Hi!

Does anyone know of some good ways (or any ways) to get kernel
backtraces from a linux kernel?

I have tried using/calling the function show_trace_task() and it seem
to work on all threads except the "current" thread which is the thread
I'm interested in.

I'm using 2.4.18 kernel.

BRs,
Markus
