In core.c, xfer_core_file can loop forever : kewill% gdb GDB 3.2, Copyright (C) 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY for GDB; type "info warranty" for details. GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it under certain conditions; type "info copying" to see the conditions. Type "help" for a list of commands. (gdb) p (int)*0 I know this is not a sensible thing to type, but it happened while I was trying to track down a similar sort of bug that can core-dump gdb. That bug will be reported once I have an example small enough to post. Bryan.
