Ok, nevermind, I seem to have fixed my own problem :) my shell script had a line that called gdb -q -x ../data/cmds `getpid` > $CRASHFILE, so that it would use a little getpid script to find the pid of the mud, then put the contents into $CRASHFILE, a timestamped file in the log directory... unfortunately, gdb didn't like that > $CRASHFILE, and I had to get a little more specific by making it 1> $CRASHFILE... after that it seems to work just fine :D
