A lot of people disable core dumps with limit coredumpsize 0
A core file is a memory image saved to disk for debugging. The files are quite large and simply named core. A segmentation fault is an illegal memory reference, and if you're linking to library, the bad reference could eaily have occured there. BTW, I may be showing my age here, but I used to use dbx to debug fom core files. If you're a MUMPS programmer, you can think of it as the C equivalent of the error trap. It enables you to look at the symbol table, register values, etc. But usually the source needs to be comiled with symbol table information (cc -S), or you're going to be stuck with debugging at the assembly level! Unless thiws is an error in your own library, this is most likely an issue for Fidelity to look at. A practical man is a man who practices the errors of his forefathers. --Benjamin Disraeli ==== Greg Woodhouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tell us your software development plans!
