Your version of gdb is obsolete. Download the latest and try again to get a better stack trace.

Have you compiled with -g and debugged a live process?

Hi Dennis ,Thanks for your reply.
I have readed some articles in this forums . In another case also whit "Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error. "messages like me , someone suggested to increase maxssiz to fix it . since It *could* in theory also be caused by the stack size limitation. How do you think ?

No, a stack overflow will give signal 11. And in the case of the main stack (not thread), you get a particular message saying stack overflow.

So download a newer gdb from the following and see if you get a better stack trace:
