Core File

[Global Server Operation]

Server = D350 OS 11.11
user is on a UNIX box, user was running a sales tax report with the taxware software on the soptxa01 and got the error server memory fault core dump.

I did a file and what on the core file:

file core:
core: core file from tax030 - received SIGSEGV

What core:
core:
HP-UX libm shared PA1.1 C Math Library 20000331 (201031) UX11.01
$ PATCH_11.11/PHCO_29029 Jun 27 2003 12:26:57 $
SMART_BIND
92453-07 dld dld dld.sl B.11.18 000922


Any ideas what this means? Does this means that this patch is outdated?

I can tell you my understanding - segmentation voilation fault usually occurs when your process is exceeding one of the segment size limits (data,text or stack).

You are reading something into the what output that is not really there just as doing a "strings" on the core file is not really helpful.

To get useful data from a core file, you really need to run the corefile through a debugger and do a stack trace. That will tell you where in the execution the actual segmentation violation occurred.

Hi
Try if you have any debugger installed on your system like "gdb" for example which is there in almost all H-UX sustems (/opt/langtools/bin/gdb) , then run a command gdb -c core and see from where the core was generated .
