Debugging

FreeBSD

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

 $ ktrace 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.
