>Our custom C++ tag is dying with a sig11


Count your blessings: sig11 is a form of catastrophic
failure.  Subtle, non-deterministic bugs can make
you nuts, but (reproducible) catastrophic failures
are a gift; they just keep failing obligingly in the
same place for the same reasons as you triangulate.
Think of it as a game of Marco-Polo, while the
non-deterministic bugs are more like dating...

Let me assure you that I don't know sh*t about
Cold Fusion, Sablotron, Apache or whatever, but I
know a bit about systems-software and debugging.
Some preliminary questions:

 - Is the failing module part of some nasty-huge
   whole or soem smaller thing that gets launched
   in response to some input?

 - Can you substitute some other program for the
   failing module?

 - Can you capture whatever data are being fed
   to the failing module?

 - Can you pause the system immediately prior to
   it launching the failing module?

 - Can you run the failing module under GDB?

 - Have you got any recreational drugs?
