Thank you for the offer of assistance, Stuart. I've begun looking into it. Reading kdump output from a test is far, far easier than reading the actual code. :) I'm sorting the syscalls used in the 7za test now. Once classified into promise groups, I'll see if I can add pledge to it. This is an easier task than trying to figure out why gdb(1) gives me random values whenever I ask for the structure referenced by a pointer that points outside of the process map in a .core file. Which is what I was doing for 4 hours last evening. I'm slow. I spent 3.75 of those hours trying to figure out what was wrong with the .core file, before discovering egdb didn't have the problem. :)
