You didn't get a backtrace from debug_va_fatal()?

As far as I can see, the access to a variable in a destructed object
was from the error handling code (usually master()->handle_error()).

If you are able to trigger the bug again, I would recomend running it
in gdb and doing a

  (gdb) call gdb_backtraces()

when the abort is triggered.

Another approach could be to alter error.c:debug_va_fatal() to call
gdb_backtraces() when/if it fails to render a backtrace. I've now
modified it accordingly in Pike master.

Recursive Pike_error calls

[Stephen R. van den Berg]

Any suggestions on how I can find out in this coredump where the
original exception was?  (i.e. which pike file and linenumber point
at the spot where we tried to access the variable in the destructed object).

Pike compiled with -O2 -g, no PIKE_DEBUG.

Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
