What kind of information would help you to debug? And what kind of information is "too much"?

Personally, I think "too much" is when you get a large table of all variables and their values; it is quite hard to locate the one you care about...

Inspect all global variables in gdb. You get every variable defined in a linked library, pages and pages and pages of output with your own program's global's stuffed somewhere in the middle. Useless.
