Hi there. That gdb program is amazing (I never used it before and hadn't
realized what it could do). I couldn't check out the Lynx.trace file
because it was too big (159,321 lines). All my editors had a problem with
that <g>.
Here's what gdb reported after issuing the command: "gdb lynx core"
_________________________________________________________________
Core was generated by `lynx -trace news://news.ntplx.net'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
Reading symbols from /lib/libncurses.so.3.0...(no debugging symbols found)...
done.
Reading symbols from /lib/libc.so.5...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.1...done.
#0 0x6666662e in ?? ()
_________________________________________________________________
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any way I can assist you
further.
regards,
Jason
