Hmm, argh. As you note, the results are not terribly illuminating. If I could take a little more of your time, is it possible that you could run src/mandb --debug under valgrind? Unfortunately there is quite a lot of memory management being done at the point indicated by the debug dump, and gdb isn't being helpful about providing the stack frame; I've tried to figure it out from the addresses shown but have so far failed. With any luck, valgrind should clear this up. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
