[gnu.gdb.bug] gdb help

Hi, 
	I am a user of gdb and I don't think that this is a bug, just
that i have compiled or am running gdb incorrectly anyway...
	It seems that when i try and load in large core files into gdb
(and sometimes small ones too) and i try get some info on the stack i
get the following message:

	runfeat > ll core
	-rw-r--r--  1 ben       8454576 Sep  7 11:01 core
	runfeat > gdb brdfeat

	(gdb) core core
	Core file is from "brdfeat".
	Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
	(gdb) where
	#0  0x0 in ?? ()
	Error reading memory address 0x0: Not owner (1).
	(gdb)

I am the owner of the core file and I am working in the dir that
contains the main source code. But when I use dbx i can examine the
stack and debug my program. I am using a sun4/280 running sunOS 4.0
I configured gdb with sun4os4. When i run my program from inside gdb 
it works fine and i can examine the stack etc. Do you have any ideas
as to what it is i am doing wrong???

Thanks in advance.

Ben Chigier.
