Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to implement DumpStack on FreeBSD. The
workaround is to use a regular backtrace, and then use IP2MD SOS command to get the
names for managed methods.
Below is transcript of debugging session that demonstrates it.

Hi,
i checked the environment vars, they are all set right, but gdb complains
about DumpStack?
do i have anything extra to make it work?
(gdb) call SOS("DumpStack")
SOS: Command 'DumpStack' not found.
thanks
