			If you have a program crash and create a .core file, like say Thunderbird crashes on you and you find the .core file:

			$ gdb thunderbird thunderbird-bin.core

			where thunderbird is the application and thunderbird-bin.core is the core file. In this case I got an error:

			"/usr/X11R6/bin/thunderbird": not in executable format: File format not recognized

			as when I looked at this file a little further I found out it is a shell script and not a binary. I did find a -g (debug) mode in this shell script which I used. Most cases it is a binary though, so the most common starting point is

			(gdb) bt

			backtrace. This won't usually too much good unless you have compiled the program with debugging symbols.

== FreeBSD ==

I had a case where Mozilla Thunderbird would core on me as soon as I started it.

$ ktrace [[variables|thunderbird]]

which created a file called "ktrace.out".

$ kdump -f ./ktrace.out

produced a lot of output, so much that I won't paste it here. These are the system calls that were made. You will most likely want to send that output to the appropriate helplist/bug report for that application.
