There IS a serious problem with gdb and DLLs. I've been working with Mumit for a long time now trying to track this one down. Apparently, if you have more than 6 or 7 DLLs to load during startup, you get the seg fault. I'm not sure if this is true on NT or not - I haven't been able to build a program that needs that many DLLs on NT. From the output of gdb, I suspect there is a problem trying to load symbol tables from the DLL. > > Suhaib > > > Any suggestions? -- Stan > > > > > > -- > > Want to unsubscribe from this list? > > Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com > > > > > > > -- > Want to unsubscribe from this list? > Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com > -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
