running into problems right here :-

$ gdb ./worldtest -g
gdb: unrecognized option '-g'
Use `gdb --help' for a complete list of options.

I tried to see if a -g option was there either in the manpage or in
gdb --help but didn't find it.

I tried without using the -g and didn't get a stack although as can be
seen it crashes it seems :(

I am using gdb 7.4.1+dfsg-0.1 (maybe the -g option was in an earlier
or a later version ? )

Looking forward to info.
