Hello,
I am trying to debug a machine that segfaults. A core file
is produced like /tmp/core.4545 . The command and error:
gdb /usr/sbin/asterisk -c /tmp/core.4545
GNU gdb 6.3-debian
...CUT
This GDB was configured as "i386-linux"...Using host
libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
"/tmp/core.4545" is not a core dump: File format not
recognized
The box was rebooted before I had a change to run gdb, did
I miss something? Thank you.
JJ

Thank you.Debian normally deletes the contents of /tmp upon boot. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir at jabber.org +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir
