    DESCRIPTION

         Postmort does a simple static analysis  of  a  PC  Minix  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.
