Matlab is a Linux binary application which usually works fine except when a remote user logs in to use Matlab and on occasion causes the machine to reboot as they attempt to start it up. I've never been able to get a core dump even with a debug kernel to send in, is there something other than what I already have in the debug kernel options (see below) and yes I do a "make install.debug" and have verified that the kernel is the same as the kernel.debug thats created. OPTIONS: makeoptions DEBUG=-g #Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols options DDB_UNATTENDED options INVARIANT_SUPPORT options INVARIANTS options DIAGNOSTIC options COMPILING_LINT or it this too much or wrong?
