Subject: More error backtrace

I am having trouble tracking down the point at which my program is 
failing.  I have a backtrace that looks like this:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:468:in `new': wrong argument 
type nil (expected String) (TypeError)
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:468:in `connect'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:467:in `timeout'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:467:in `connect'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:449:in `initialize'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:149:in `new'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:149:in 
`conn_socket'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/http.rb:499:in `do_start'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:131:in `start'
          ... 6 levels...
         from webcount.rb:556:in `each'
         from webcount.rb:556:in `wayback'
         from webcount.rb:703:in `dosite'
         from webcount.rb:813

What I need to know are which lines of code are represented by "... 6 
levels...".  Is there any way of stopping ruby from abbreviating the 
backtrace like this?

(I'm using ruby 1.6.8 (2002-12-24) [powerpc-darwin6.6])

Thanks
