+Here's an extra tip for anyone who read this far: @command{backtrace}
+is smart enough to strip the @code{Call stack:} header and @samp{.}
+trailer from the command line if you include them.  This can save you
+a little bit of trouble in cutting and pasting.  Thus, the following
+command prints the same output as the first one we used:
+
+@example
+backtrace kernel.o Call stack: 0xc0106eff 0xc01102fb 0xc010dc22
+0xc010cf67 0xc0102319 0xc010325a 0x804812c 0x8048a96 0x8048ac8.
