The tone of the replies seemed to indicate that there are FreeBSD heads within the organization waiting for a go ahead. If you want a debugging tool that is aware of the majority of Unix system calls, X/Motif, etc., and are willing to pay for it then by all means signup. I think these guys were originally CIT supercomputer researchers who built a lot of tools to help with their research. Then then realized that their tools would make excellent products.
