Fwd: gdb on Cygwin cannot give correct call stacks for segment faults

[Pan ruochen <panruochen@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I find that my gdb on Cygwin cannot dump correct call stacks while
segment faults arise.

Test code is as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void foo()
{
    FILE * volatile dev =NULL;
    fprintf(dev, "Hello World!\n");
}

int main()
{
    foo();
    return 0;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------

And backtrace information is as follows:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x61138b61 in _fwrite_r () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
(gdb) backtrace
#0  0x61138b61 in _fwrite_r () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll

#13 0x0000000d in ?? ()
#14 0x00000000 in ?? ()

does not give any useful clues where the segment faults arise.
So what is wrong?
