Thanks, Ray, it looks like it might come in handy. One possible
problem is that it takes into account compiler optimisations that
eliminate code. I suppose turning off the compiler optimisations might
help in that case. Also, it would be nice if it had a recursive
"what-does-it-call?" function in addition to the "who-calls" function!

A couple of other posters have mentioned possibilities that might
work, and hopefully with more portability.

It's sociologically interesting, though scary, that you can be inside
an evil system and be somehow unaware of it.
