gdb "warning: (Internal error"

[Marco atzeri]

Hi,
I am trying to debug a crash bug in octave, and I am puzzled by the
backtrace output

#0  popen (
     command=0x208195d4 "/usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER 
-sDEVICE=png16m -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -r150x150 
-dEPSCrop -sOutputFile=gnuplot.png -", in_type=0x9a45add "w")
     at /pub/cygwin/cvs/src_new/winsup/cygwin/syscalls.cc:3919

#4  0x2062ea80 is surely
20000000-20850000 rw-p 00000000 0000:0000 0                   [heap]
20850000-38000000 ===p 00850000 0000:0000 0                   [heap]


Is it possible that #2,3,4 are red herrings due to gdb internal error , 
or the stack is really corrupted ?

Thanks
Marco
