[tor-talk] segfault at 8 ip ... error 4 in tor

[Hanspeter Spalinger]

Hi,

I built a new gdb (from the homepage), and got the output below. I too
tried rebuild tor from the source (apt-get source,
dpkg-buildpackage,...) and both times the stack trace looks like this. I
do not understand why gdb does not find the tor-dbg symbols, i installed
them and squeeze gdb finds them, but not the new gdb (i tried the
map-debug configure option and used the -s Option to directly give the
path, but nothing worked)

Does this help? or how should I proceed?

greetings
HP

PS: i do not get the crash with debian stable package, i am using the
repository provided by the tor-projct as described in
https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian#source
