gdb crashes with seg fault

gdb crashes with seg fault

[Ralf Narozny]

Hello all!

I got a strange problem. gdb is crashing with a segmentation fault while 
checking a 120MB large binary with each core that this binary produces.

I hope I'm just too dumb to do the right things. But the problem 
occurred first after using gcc 3.0.1 to compile the binary. All was ok 
before that.

Ok, here is some data you might need.

Machine: Athlon 1.3GHz, 512M RAM
Linux version 2.4.4-4GB (root@Pentium.suse.de) (gcc version 2.95.3 
20010315 (SuSE))
GDB: Version 5.0 (one self compiled one out of SuSE Linux distribution)
GCC: Version 3.0.1 (self compiled)

gdb call:
gdb bin/realm lib/core --batch -x ./checkcore_cmds

checkcore_cmds:
bt
print this
print *this
print ch
print *ch
print player
print *player
exit


Thanks in advance
  Ralf

FYI,  the first thing to do is download a current snapshot and try that. 
  There are likely differences between SuSE's GDB and the official FSF GDB.

Thanks Andrew!

The selfcompiled one was downloaded at exactly that location :-(
