We could use some additional information here..

1) If you are familiar with gdb, can you load the core into gdb and give us
a full backtrace?  If you are not familiar with gdb, see the instructions
below.

2) Please list what, if any, modifications have been made to the source tree
(this includes patches, but also any changes you may have made, including
changes to config.h/setup.h/etc. .. everything)

3) If a painting can be forged well enough to fool experts, why is the
original so valuable?

Regards,

Bill



Instructions on how to retrieve a full backtrace from a corefile:

>From a shell (bash/sh/tcsh/zsh/etc) type:

gdb path/to/ircd/binary path/to/ircd/corefile

This should (hopefully) start gdb and load the corefile.  It will spit out a
lot of information, and, God willing, will leave you with this prompt:

(gdb) 

>From there, type:

bt full

This will spit out an awful lot of information that may or may not make any
sense.  This is the information we need.  Please post it to this list, or to
the bugs list: bugs at ircd-hybrid.org if it contains sensitive information you
do not want sent out on a public list.

 peace?  I don't fall for that.  You're righteous, so righteous, you're
 always so right.  Here there is more than's showing up, and I hope we can
 break it down so it's not so black and white."
