Re: [Tlf/tlf] Bandmap improvements (#31)

[Thomas Beierlein]

Hi Fred,

Just saw Zolis test results for the RBN. Normally bandmap seems to be
very stable even during large contests (at least with normal DX
cluster).

There is one possible variation to test during next major contest. 

Prepare and build  tlf as follows and make sure to have the 'gdb'
debugger installed.

CFLAGS="-g" ./configure --prefix=<your normal prefix> 

That will build tlf with debug information built in. Install the
program like normal and than start tlf with

gdb path/to/tlf <all the switches you normally use>

Tlf should work like before but in case of a segmentation fault stop in
gdb's command line.

Just do a 'bt' command for getting backtrack information and send us
the output. you can quit gdb afterwards with 'q'.

73, de Tom
