You're appear to be asking a question about your program not about GDB. Inspecting the core should help to answer your question. Debugging the process means running under GDB - if you're not you should be - in which case a signal should stop execution before dumping the core, when you can examine the cause more carefully. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
