To that end, I've tried to backtrace the core dump using gdb. When I do that, I can get a backtrace without symbols, but it can't do it with the symbols turned on. Here's an example: Core was generated by `httpd-g'. Program terminated with signal 6, Abort trap. #0 0x8091ee5 in ?? () (gdb) bt #0 0x8091ee5 in ?? () #1 0x3e88 in ?? () #2 0xefbfe13c in ?? () #3 0xc7a9 in ?? () #4 0xcb99 in ?? () #5 0x4941 in ?? () #6 0x4b2d in ?? () #7 0x5127 in ?? () #8 0x5419 in ?? () #9 0x10d3 in ?? () (gdb) file httpd-g Reading symbols from httpd-g...done. (gdb) bt #0 0x8091ee5 in end () Cannot access memory at address 0x366c0. After loading the symbols, it can only show me the innermost stack frame :( Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is under FBSD 2.1.0R and whatever gcc comes with that (2.6.3, I think).
