I have a mail server that has been running fine for a couple years running 3.7 and has recently started crashing every couple days. I know that it's well beyond the support window, but if someone can help me out using gdb/ddb to figure out the problem I'd appreciate it.
I've got the bsd.n[.core] files and have tinkered with them a little (just following what's in the crash(8) manpage). Specifically I'm having trouble with the "Crash Location Determination" section using ddb, which says: "First, in ddb(4) find the function that caused the crash. It is either the function at the top of the traceback or the function under the call to panic() or uvm_fault()." How do I find the function that caused it? I'm sure it's probably a memory thing but I figure this would be a good chance to learn some deeper troubleshooting techniques. :-) --Bryan
