unix prompt> gdb ../bin/httpd ... gdb header stuff ... (gdb) run -X -f conf/httpd.conf.mod_perl Segfault (gdb) bt !!! UGLY STACK TRACE TO FOLLOW !!! This *MIGHT* give the real gurus on the list something to work with. Its how I have debugged many a segfault in my day. This or something like it. You can also load up a core dump with gdb, but I can't remember the last time I did that, so I have no real directions here, but its probably just prompt> gdb core ... (gdb) bt [ find out where it segfaulted ] --Josh _________________________________________________________________ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
