What were you trying to do?
Get used to xcodecenter's new GUI, but that's not important right
now. I was trying to load some files into xcodecenter.
What went wrong?
xcodecenter's new gui is a dramatic step downwards from it's
previous pretty-bad GUI, but that's beside the point. After finally
managing to convey to xcodecenter that I really did want it to load
my c files, it tried... on the third file, it spun for about a
minute and then dumped core.
The files are ~yandros/project/bugs/rpd/src/*.c I believe it was
working on handle_request.c at the time, but I'm not certain.
The coredump will stay in ~yandros/tmp/core.xcodecenter.sun4.gz for
1 week, after which I will remove it.
What should have happened?
CenterLine should run their software through itself, but I suspect,
given what I just saw, that they'd rather not waste the time
fighting with the interface.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Yeah, I'm in a bad mood. Could you tell? :-)
Seriously, though, since this is a sun-xcodecenter-dumps-core bug
instead of a decstation-xcodecenter-dumps-core bug, perhaps
CenterLine will pay attention this time.
Also, it's a good thing that I was working in a large volume; the
coredump was over 6M. The gzip'd file is a mere 1.3M. Get it
soon. :-)
