I see it's been updated recently, but I suspect that there's a lot that still needs to be done. You might like to look at gdb(4) in -CURRENT and incorporate some of the stuff there. There's also my debug tutorial at http://www.lemis.com/papers/Taiwan/tutorial.pdf, from which you can extract anything you want for inclusion in the handbook.
