v2 executables dump the stack trace directly to stderr.  The old go32
options don't work anymore because v2 doesn't use go32 (except as an
intermediary for unstubbed images).  There are two ways to do what you
need:

1) When the crash traceback is on the screen, type "symify -o
<outputfile> <program>" to copy the symified data to a file.

2) If your program uses graphics or in some other way makes it
impossible to see the traceback, use 'redir' to redirect stderr to a
file, and then run stubify on that file, like so:

   redir -e t$gccdbg <program command line>
   symify -i t$gccdbg <program>

This, IMHO, is much easier than fooling around with environment
variables.

BTW, I noticed 'noglob' in your go32 environment variable.  This is also
no longer done in the environment, but is established individually by
each and every program.  To see how, look up __crt0_glob_function() in
the libc docs.

Good luck!
