After opus' X server kept dying on me sporadically while starting Netscape
over the past few days, I finally editted the X server startup config
and added -core.
This morning I got an X core dump in /var/tmp/core. Unfortunately
the stack trace doesn't look very promising:
[opus!jhawk] /var/tmp> ls -l core
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 4202508 Jul 2 01:14 core
[opus!jhawk] /var/tmp> file core
core: IRIX core dump of 'Xsgi'
[opus!jhawk] /var/tmp# mv core core.Xsgi
[opus!jhawk] /var/tmp# dbx
dbx dbxhang
[opus!jhawk] /var/tmp# where Xsgi
/usr/bin/X11/Xsgi
[opus!jhawk] /var/tmp# dbx `which Xsgi` core.Xsgi
dbx version 3.19 Nov 3 1994 19:59:46
Core from signal SIGBUS: Bus error
(dbx) where
> 0 <stripped>() [<stripped>, 0x5deb3a70]
(dbx)
gdb gives similar results.
You can find the core in /mit/coredumps/jhawk/Xsgi.core.813.gz.
Thanks.
