Hiya JH1234,
Hehe, an age old question you ask, my friend... And one of the most lamentable oversights in functionality the Numega team ever made regarding our beloved degugger
Well you can use icedump to make a manual dump... Instructions are stored in the backtrace buffer in a 7 byte format consisting of address (4 bytes), code segment selector (2 bytes), and ring (1 byte). Use the search command to locate the buffer using the first address from your trace, multiply the total # of instructions logged by 7 bytes and that will be your dump size.
Alternately, you could try out the backtrace dumper utility Kayaker and I worked on... Its still in a beta stage and has never been publicly released, but it does work decently well in most cases. I would suggest you mail Kayaker about it as I haven't worked on it in quite some time due to some really disappointing issues with my AMD processor regarding the SI backtrace feature. I'm certain he has the most up to date copy of our code and will probably send you a copy if you ask nicely

LOL, no complaints if it crashes though, cause you'd be getting a beta
Cheers,
Clandestiny
