Thus spake Audun Arnesen Nordal ("AAN> ") sometime Today...

AAN> yet another example:
AAN> $ gdb -c sh.core sh.core
                        ^^^^^
AAN> GNU gdb 5.3nb1
AAN> [...]
AAN> This GDB was configured as "i386--netbsdelf"..."/home/audun/sh.core": not

AAN> Core was generated by `sh'.
AAN> Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
AAN> #0  0x00000000 in ?? ()
AAN> (gdb) bt
AAN> #0  0x00000000 in ?? ()

Slightly off to the side:

You *might* have better luck if you didn't try to debug a core file as
your executable...

AAN> Did I just hit a bad snapshot, or is there something seriously wrong?
