Here's a couple of small additions to BUG-HUNTING.
1. point out that you can list code in gdb with only one command
(gdb) l *(<symbol> + offset)
2. give a very brief hint how to decode module symbols in call traces

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
