This could be a nice addition to our toolkit:

A neat tool for creating GDB readable coredumps from multithreaded
applications -- while the program is running.

The coredumper library can be compiled into applications to create core
dumps of the running program, without terminating. It supports both
single- and multi-threaded core dumps, even if the kernel does not
natively support multi-threaded core files.

we must be reading the same irc threads :)

sounds like something worth looking into, for sure.

And a related post from httpd-dev:

Google released several things as open source today:
http://code.google.com/

Their CoreDumper library is actually very cool, and I hacked it into an
apache module:

Just do a 'SetHandler download-core', and you can download a GDB
computable core file, from the instance that the request took place.

I am not sure how useful it will be in the long run for debugging, but I
think it could be nice for taking snapshots mid-processing in the
multi-threaded MPMs.
