I've written a signal handler that writes out a stackdump if a program
gets e.g. a SEGV signal. However, I want to write out the stackdump
with symbolic procedure names if symbolic information is available in
the binary file. The question is, how can my signal handler find the
path to the binary file so that it can read in the symbol table?

I'm running SunOS 4.1.1 on a Sun3 machine.
