DESCRIPTION

     Postmort does a simple static analysis of a PC MINIX 3  core
     file;  By default, it looks for the file 'core' in the local
     directory and loads that for analysis; it also searches  for
     the  file 'symbol.out', and if that fails 'a.out', expecting
     them to contain symbol information for the core file.  It is
     not a fatal error if the symbol files don't exist.

     The stack backtrace is slightly tricky, and may go on longer
     than  is  really justified, since there's no easy way for it
     to know when to stop.  Treat its results with caution.
