My C++ Unix debugging skills aren't great (I'm a Windows guy normally). I don't gdb or any of the other Unix debuggers. The error I get when I don't have the try/catch is: # ./a.out /mnt: write failed, filesystem is full terminate called after throwing an instance of 'log4cxx::helpers::IOException' what(): IO Exception : status code = 28 Abort trap: 6 (core dumped) Unfortunately, despite it saying a core was dumped, there doesn't seem to be a core file. Not sure how to proceed from here.
