The crashdump knob gave me a basic stack trace, but it wasn't really enough information to debug the issue. I ended up having to make the one-line source change to that page to disable SIGSEGV interception in order to get a core file and point gdb at that. Unfortunately, gdb on FreeBSD gets seems to get confused by thread switching and usually locks up even before I can trigger the crash. I only managed to capture the crash once with gdb running a live process. For fun, try configuring a build with --enable-debug and --enable-dbgutil. Lots of pop-up assertion failure alerts ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
