Hi, What do you think that the problem might be if a program has a segmentation fault at the same library call? The library call is from libpthread.so.0 and the call itself is "pthread_mutex_locl ( )". I have enclosed the core dump information below. The program comes up and then does the segmentation fault. (gdb) bt #0 0x40035944 in pthread_mutex_lock () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x419ede1e in register_verify (p=3D0x8163890, sin=3D0x41bfc0d0, req=3D0x41bfc0e0, uri=3D0x41bfc2fd "sip:10.0.0.5", ignore=3D0) at chan_sip.c:5032 #2 0x419f4495 in handle_request (p=3D0x8163890, req=3D0x41bfc0e0, sin=3D0x41bfc0d0, recount=3D0x0, nounlock=3D0x41bfbf48) at chan_sip.c:7861 #3 0x419f6194 in sipsock_read (id=3D0x81413f8, fd=3D20, events=3D1, ignore=3D0x0) at chan_sip.c:7959 #4 0x0805317c in ast_io_wait (ioc=3D0x813fe08, howlong=3D0) at io.c:267 #5 0x419e27db in do_monitor (data=3D0x0) at chan_sip.c:8106 #6 0x400347f3 in start_thread () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 #7 0x401a462a in clone () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (gdb) x/5i $eip 0x40035944 <pthread_mutex_lock+36>: mov 0xc(%esi),%ecx 0x40035947 <pthread_mutex_lock+39>: cmp $0x1,%ecx 0x4003594a <pthread_mutex_lock+42>: je 0x40035974 <pthread_mutex_lock+84> 0x4003594c <pthread_mutex_lock+44>: jg 0x4003598e <pthread_mutex_lock+110> 0x4003594e <pthread_mutex_lock+46>: xor %eax,%eax (gdb) info registers eax 0x0 0 ecx 0x0 0 edx 0x0 0 ebx 0x4003dff4 1073995764 esp 0x41bf01f4 0x41bf01f4 ebp 0x41bf0208 0x41bf0208 esi 0x0 0 edi 0x32da 13018 eip 0x40035944 0x40035944 eflags 0x210212 2163218 cs 0x73 115 ss 0x7b 123 ds 0x7b 123 es 0x7b 123 fs 0x0 0 gs 0x33 51 (gdb) info threads 15 process 13005 0xffffe410 in ??
