Hmm...good question.  I''ve done it with gdb on Unix systems but never
on
Windows.  Anyone out there know how to do that?

Also, please do me a favor and download 0.2.3 and run the
tc_eventlog.rb.  I''m guessing it will fail, too, but I just want to
make
sure.  If it does, please log it as a bug on our RubyForge project page.
Thanks.
