fecora core 1 and 2 and possibly other redhats but it doesn't happen on 7.2
>Description:
I have an apache module compiled using Kylix (written in Object Pascal). When I attempt to attach to apache and debug I get a core dump. It successfully reads symbols from a variety of .sos and then dies here
Reading symbols from /mnt/win/crm/crm/libeWare.so.../home/fergal/my/bin/asd: line 6: 2402 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$@"
nm is able to dump the symbols no problem.
There is something weird about this .so, Kylix can't debug it properly either however I was able to successfully debug it using gdb on a vanilla Redhat 7.2 install, so it's not fatally broken.
I can't attach the so or the core here in public. If you have any tests you'd like me to carry out, let me know. If I have to I can send the so (12M) or the core dump (17M) in private.
This happens with the latest snapshot including
