There's a simple recipe for it: compile your kernel with DDB, and reboot into single-user (with the disks read/only). Then, try the offending command and see whether it also crashes here. If so, your debugger has been called, and you can analyze the bug. (Or what do you think how others analyze the problems? :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
