Thank you Daniel for the links.
Am using kernel-2.6.18-194.centosplus.el5 and dumpstack.c (under lib/dumpstack.c) implentation said simply "This architecture does not support dump_stack".

Thanks, Sri.

At runtime you can use dumpstack() [1].
Otherwise, just for reading the code I suggest cscope [2].
