If you rebuilt with debugging enabled, then what happened to the symbols? Were they stripped at some point? | #1 0xb7b3b38d in octave_builtin::do_multi_index_op () | from /usr/lib/octave-2.9.4/liboctinterp.so With debugging symbols, I'd expect more info about the arguments. In any case, if it is truly a random crash that you can't reproduce, then the first thing I would check would be your system's memory. OTOH, if it is always crashing in the same place, then can you try to find some recipe for the failure? jwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
