The errors "Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)" and "No stack" can mean several things, in order of likeliness: 1) the code doesn't contain sufficient debug info 2) gdb is broken or incompatible with gcc 3) gcc is broken or incompatible with gdb You could try configuring and building Bacula with CFLAGS="-g" to solve 1, though there will still be issues with the system libraries. If that doesn't work, then building your own gdb from the latest sources might help with 2. You might be able to build your own gcc too, but that's pretty drastic. Finally, you can run bacula-dir directly under gdb (add the -f option when starting bacula-dir). Then interrupt bacula-dir and use the gdb commands in the script at the gdb command line, which should allow you to skip any that fail. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
