- Hi there. This has been a real PITA....
-
- When our software goes out into the field, the executables are
- stripped. However, if we were to get a core dump, it'd be nice
- to be able to debug it under xdb or cdb.
-
- Now, the symbol table is not dumped with the core file, so it
- should be possible to just use the unstripped binary, and have
- everything be hunky-dorey. Unforuently, it's not. We get messages
- like "core cannot be the core file for XXXX; ignoring core". Not
- much of a help.
-
- We're running (yikes) HP-UX 6.5. Any clues? Thanks.
