The \fB-tf\fR and \fB-play\fR options allow you to specify a file into
which the entire startup state of the server and all the transactions

every so often, you can start the server with the \fB-tf\fR option and
then, when the server dumps core, the trace file will contain all the
transactions that led up to it dumping core, so that the problem can
be easily debugged with \fB-play\fR.
.PP
The \fB-play\fR option must be specified with an alternate lease file,

refuse to operate in playback mode unless you specify an alternate
lease file.
