- Read the manual page for your friendly neighborhood debugger, and
- use it to find out where in the code and why it core dumped. Saying "it
- dumps core" is like going to a doctor and saying "I feel bad." Going in
- with a debugger and determining that you're getting a segmentation fault
- in, say, strcmp() is like going to a doctor and saying, "my leg hurts,
- and here's an Xray showing where it's broken."
