With open source, everything is possible!

The only downside is that this might require some work (some code, plus
documentation updates).

Currently you can get such stack traces by sending the QUIT signal to a
process (kill -QUIT PID), so the code exists to do that, but its not
hooked up to Control-C.    

Am not sure that it is a good idea to do by default, but if anything,
that should be discussed on mono-list at lists.ximian.com, not the OSX
specific list.

Miguel.
