/com/tb will still do the job.  Nowadays, though, it's really a link to
/usr/apollo/bin/tb.

When a process crashes it dumps crash info in the file
node_data/system_logs/proc_dump.  This file is a circular buffer which
can contain well over 100 dumps before it wraps on itself.  the
traceback program gets the appropriate info from here.
