- This is a segmentation violation. It could mean a bug in the server
- or a corrupted executable. You can make certain that the server
- executable is not corruped by matching the checksum listed in the
- MANIFEST.core-server-1.1 file with that generated by 'cksum X386'.
-
- The distributed server executable isn't striped, so you may be able to
- get some information from the stack trace. You can use gdb on the
- core file generated by X386 to generate the backtrace.
