What I usually do is something like:

   if something_is_wrong then
      ? 1/0
   end if

This will generate a divide by zero error and
you'll get a full ex.err dump with traceback.
You could put this into your own routine like
the modified "abort" routine in demo\sanity.ex
that overrides the usual abort().
