I have already tried this and I do not get dumped into the debugger!
That's what I meant when I said I don't know how to get a trace. I've
used the debugger in other circumstances w/ set-debug-on-error, so I
don't know why it's not getting triggered now - but it isn't.

Does this effectively leave me without a hope of solving this problem?
