Sounds more like libpthread and libc_r are both in-process to me. Jason, try "i sh" from gdb to see what libraries were loaded in the process when it dumped. Interestingly, from the stack trace, frame 3 shows "re_search" calling into the main application, not a shared library, at the "??" bit (the instruction pointer is in the wrong range for a shared library): It sounds like the application is implementing a function that should probably be resolved from a shared library, and the linker is binding the application version instead of the standard one: that might be an issue. (I don't think the regex library ever uses callbacks, which would be the only other reason I can think it'd happen) The sysutils/pstack has a good chance of finding the name of the "??" function if you want to run that on the corefile: it takes the dynamic exported functions into account as well as the debug information when finding function names. HTH, Peter.
