by Note sure the best place to post this, programming group or Tru64, ideally
I guess a programming group for Tru64... anyways.
We have an app that keeps coring at 300 megs. The core file written out is
almost exactly 300 megs. I can't read it with dbx or ladebug, dbx errors
out saying its a bad core file, and ladebug segv's when reading it.
A few questions on this.
Does anyone know if there is a limit to the size of the core files that
either de* uses?
Or, what I think may be the problem, is the core file was limited or
something, so its really just a junk core file. When I type "limit" from my
prompt, it says core_file_size is unlimited, but is there any other factor
that could affect this?
Finally, is there some limit to a process size? That is causing this sucker
to core out at exactly 300 megs all the time?
Its rather annoying because I'd like to see what the corefile says to see
what the stack trace is, but no de* will read it... is there a way to
get the stack trace without using a de*?
Thanks
