[android-developers] Using Allocation Tracker in DDMS

I have an Activity that is running out of memory in CreateSurface. The
logcat looks like this:

10-04 17:55:52.574: ERROR/SurfaceFlinger(1086): createSurface()
failed, generateId = -12
10-04 17:55:52.574: WARN/WindowManager(1086): OutOfResourcesException
creating surface
10-04 17:55:52.574: INFO/WindowManager(1086): Out of memory for
surface! Looking for leaks...
10-04 17:55:52.574: WARN/WindowManager(1086): No leaked surfaces;
killing applicatons!
10-04 17:55:52.574: WARN/ActivityManager(1086): Killing processes Free
memory at adjustment 0

I'm trying to use DDMS to figure out what's going on but when the
application gets killed DDMS aborts the Allocation Tracker.

Is there a way to cause the application to do a core dump and is there
a tool for analyzing dumps?

I have SDK version 8, which does not allow simultaneous use of DDMS
and the Eclipse debugger so I need to get creative.
