- The other functions either return a pointer to a string-
- area (allocated by the corresponding function), or return
- no value (such as <STRONG>_tracedump</STRONG>, which implements the screen
- dump for <STRONG>TRACE_UPDATE</STRONG>). The caller should not free these
- strings, since the allocation is reused on successive
