Run the mud in gdb: [~/mud/fataldim/area] [EMAIL PROTECTED]>gdb ../src/rom [...] (gdb) run [...] ROM is rocking on port 4000 now telnet to the mud and when it hangs, press ^C in the gdb window: [...] Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x12345678 in somefunction () (gdb) where [...] #6 0x807826d in main (argc=5, argv=0xbfbff738) at comm.c:197 #7 0x8049bbb in _start () With the "frame" command you can go up and down the stack and see which functions where called. With "list" you can see a couple of lines of code of that function. With "p name" you can see the value of a variable. Etc. Look likes refcards.com is still down, see the url in a previous message for the reference card. Print it (it's two pages), turn one page, slide it into a transparent folder and keep that one close to your computer for easy access.
