Francesco, is it possible that a data structure you were trying to read was very large? If so, this is fixed in post-5.1 GDB.
The most probable cause should be trying to access something out of the user space. It was a string, a file name, so not large. But the program being debugged had crashed, so who knows? _______________________________________________ Bug-gdb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gdb
