attaching pathdb

[Harald Pfeiffer]

Hi Barry,

the usage seems to be similar or even identical to gdb:

Output of pathdb -help:
 >  usage: pathdb [option...] [program [core|pid]]

The man page is online under http://www.pathscale.com/docs/pathdb.html,
and there is also the full user guidem 
http://www.pathscale.com/docs/PathDB_UserGuide.pdf (look at page 29).
