Hello,
I am trying to read a core dump using gdb 4.16 on NetBSD 1.3.3 but the
debugger won't recognize the file as a valid core dump:
callisto:bstark$ ls -l panel panel.core
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bstark users 14267716 Feb 3 23:56 panel
-rw------- 1 bstark users 1843788 Feb 4 00:15 panel.core
(gdb) file panel
Reading symbols from panel...done.
(gdb) core panel.core
"/usr/local2/bin/panel.core" is not a core dump: File format not
recognized
callisto:bstark$ file panel.core
panel.core: NetBSD/i386 core from 'panel'
callisto:bstark$
...but the "file" command does report the file as being a valid core
dump. I have also tried using gdb 4.17, but I get the same results.
Anyone know what I am overlooking??
Thanks,
Brian
