If I remember right there is some way to retrieve the external debug symbols in
Ubuntu... But I could add a -dbg package in any case.

If you want to give the latest Debian package a try and compile it with debug
symbols, do the following:

git clone git://git.recluse.de/debian/pkg-radiance.git
cd pkg-radiance
export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip,noopt
git-buildpackage
(if you don't have git-buildpackage, use dpkg-buildpackage -i.git -I.git)

That should give you some .deb files with included debug symbols.

Then try to get a core dump, or run the executable in gdb.
ulimit -c unlimited
will help:)

In gdb please use
bt full

to get a full backtrace.
Then file it as bug in the Debian bts or send it to this list :)

Cheers,

Bernd
