Re: [SQU] Looks like a newbie problem:

Henk-Jan,
    gdb is a tool used on many computer platforms to perform debugging. Corefiles are dumps of the internal state of a program when
abnormal errors have occured.

I don't have a a linux box here just now, (so if anyone in dev land wants to speak up on any inaccuracies..)

When squid dies it writes a core file (look in the top of your cache directory which is where it goes by default). You should have a
file squid.core there.

Run gdb bin/squid cache/squid.core from your squid directory. This will load up gdb, with the squid executable and the core file.

Now type bt[Enter]
frame[enter]

and drop me | the list the results.

Thanks Rob,

ps we had email crossover before, I think we're synchronised now :]
