Application crashing after applying patch bundle for 11i

Hi all,

It happens to be that I applied a series of patches to an L2000 running 11i, and after that an application that used to run fine before, now is coredumping every time is run. Output from gdb is the following:
/opt/pkg/bscs/0/batch/bin: coxy >gdb fih
GNU gdb 5.0

This GDB was configured as "hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00"...
(gdb) set verbose on
(gdb) r

Continuing.

The program no longer exists.
(gdb) quit

And also taking a look at 'strings core' I see the following:
$Revision: 92453-07 linker linker crt0.o B.11.25 010129 $
/usr/lib/dld.sl
ERROR: mmap failed for dld
ERROR: mmap failed for TSD

I have attached the list of patches I installed for you to take a look a it. I don't want to uninstall all patches for solving this problem I'd like to know first what could be causing this issue and what patch is related to the failure I'm experiencing....

Thanks to all in advance...

Re: Application crashing after applying patch bundle for 11i

It looks like one of the runtime libraries needed by gdb was replaced and a symbol definition is now missing. I would recommend re-installing gdb. If this fixes the problem, you will probably have to re-install after applying patches.
