Alpha is special, with what seems to me like a GDB bug. Try this: echo '#include int main() {abort();}' >abortme.c gcc -O2 -o abortme abortme.c ./abortme gdb ./abortme ./core.abortme (inside gdb:) backtrace (inside gdb:) backtrace full (inside gdb:) quit This stuff is run as part of the ports/mail/bogofilter test suite (which is part of the build) determine if core dumps from the build logs are usable. A couple of days ago, the backtrace of the trivial program ended up in an unterminated loop on the build cluster, GDB kept repeating stack frame #0. Whoops. The other architectures appeared fine though. I haven't bothered to file a PR as I don't have an Alpha machine and I'm not comfortable with filing second-hand bugs. -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
