Hi Christopher,
Have you spoken with Doug Rabson about this? He has work which is
to going to meet a similar end as PathDB could provide.
Also, it might be a good time and a good idea to consider going to
one of the BSD conferences and presenting PathDB as a useful
alternative to gdb (especially if folks provide some degree of
interest in your work).
I'll take a look at it if I have time.
Thanks,
-Garrett
