Thanks a lot! I just downloaded it and used it to solve a bug within a 
halv an hour.

The bug was in a deamon being massaged by a testscript via socket, so 
the ability to easily to insert a detailed stackdump to file at the 
problemspot saved me lot of headscratching on a friday.

One minor suggestion:
Printout of tables are limited to 70 characters. It could be useful if 
that could be overriden by an option to stacktrace()
