What were you trying to do?
Use adb to examine the core dumps for the ptserver and
the vlserver on rosebud. The coredumps were associated with the
problem I reported in [8632] in bugs.
What's wrong:
adb dumped core. The adb coredumps and the corresponding
fileserver coredumps can be found in ~ckclark/rosebud-lossage
What should have happened:
dbx said that the core files were not valid. adb should be able
to recognize invalid core dumps, before it dumps core itself:
Nov 19 (2:39) rosebud:~
[74]% dbx /mit/afsdev/bld/obj/ptserver/ptserver ~/rosebud-lossage/core.ptserver
dbx version 3.1 for AIX.
Type 'help' for help.
/mit/ckclark/rosebud-lossage/core.ptserver is not a valid core file (core ignored)
reading symbolic information ...warning: no source compiled with -g
(dbx) quit
Nov 19 (2:48) rosebud:~
[75]% ^dbx^adb
adb /mit/afsdev/bld/obj/ptserver/ptserver ~/rosebud-lossage/core.ptserver
data section is missing from the corefile
user stack is missing from the corefile
core is truncated
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Exit 139
