Thanks. That seems to work very well with STANDALONE defined. However, if I
try to compile it (with gcc -c) and link it with my program and if I call
StackTrace() from within my program, it says "No debugger found".

On debugging this, I found that 'status' after the line "rc = waitpid(pid,
&status, 0)" is 512. 'pid' was non-zero (and on doing a 'ps', it
corresponded to 'sh <defunct>'.

If I define USE_BUILTIN, it has a Segmentation fault.
