Re: Understanding the segmentation fault output generated using gdb

The first question is what version of Perl are you using? If you didn't build it yourself then you have found a bug

(gdb) backtrace full
(gdb) info registers
(gdb) thread apply all backtrace
[download]

This will give you the values of all the variables at the time of the crash.

Update: You should ideally run gdb on the same machine that the core was generated on, in frame 8 you have a library call which is not available on the machine the backtrace was generated on.
