It should tell you exactly where its seg faulting. Read again. It's not seg faulting, he is forcing it to seg fault as he is in an infinite loop. I normally just use the SIGSEGV signal to make it seg fault and dump a core so that I can figure out where it's hanging. But if you want to attach gdb to the process, that's permissable, too. When the process hangs, link to it (as described in the quoted text), stop the program, and check where you are :) -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
