I found this patch https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=gdb-7.2-bnc596646.patch&package=gdb&project=openSUSE%3AFactory&srcmd5=fa6606a08c53d3cff59d9b6bf6991afb
and build the latest gnu gdb (ftp://sourceware.org/pub/gdb/snapshots/current/gdb-weekly-7.2.50.20101207.tar.bz2) with and without hand merging the patch. The patched version gcore command produces a core which provides a meaningful backtrace. the unpatched version does not. This gore patch needs to be applied to for ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680588 Title: gcore produces core file without backtrace capability -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
