- I am on a SPARC 1+.
-
- Many times when my program dumps core, the stack address
- is something like 0xfeffffoo.
-
- The negative of such a number looks somehting like 0x80000a40.
-
- My debugger (gdb) can not handle it and quits right there.
-
- I am sure it is a valid address, though, since the core dump
- was the result of me calling abort. The size of the program is very
- modest and probably had not done anything bad up to that point.
-
- Is this address some sort of register-based offset?
