after running an application and getting an segmentation fault, I want to figure what part of the code is responsible
for that. For this purpose I use GNU gdb 6.4.90-debian. I run:
"gdb EXECUTABLE core" and get the error message:

core" is not a core dump: File format not recognized

file core

should tell you that it is an appropriate core file, also

ls -l core

Note that many systems now write core files named after the
process id, and you may have an old core file from a different system.
