I'm too lazy to write it down all again as this webmail client is killing me, so in a sentence or two: `step' ignores code with no related source code available. The ns binary does nothing but call Tcl_Main() which for some non-understandable reason comes with no debugging symbols although I've enabled them in the building process. Solution: in gdb, set `step-mode' to `on'. --Timo
