The gdb shipped with earlier versions of FreeBSD doesn't seem to be able to read 3.0's core dumps either. >How-To-Repeat: Cause 3.0 to core dump (an exercise left to the reader) gdb /var/crash/kernel.0 >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
