Dou you know of any other system where you can say:

Print me a strack trace with symbols for all processes on this computer (even stripped ones) that call gettimeofday() within the next few seconds.

Well, this is by far off-topic here now, but how does this solve the general problem of knowing that gettimeofday() might be a problem in the given situation? But yeah, once you know that, the functionality is useful, no doubt.

If you did not get it yet, it's an example to show what may be done. There are many more features. Just fetch the

"Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide"

manual as PDF for more information - it's 300 pages.
