gcore fails to create a core dump if the terminal window is filled with output
Issue
- gcore fails to create a core dump for a running program if the terminal window is filled with many lines of output from gdb
Environment
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 4
-
kernel: 2.6.18-164.el5
- gdb-6.8-37.el5
- A program that causes gdb to print many lines -- more than a screenful -- of output. A program that's linked to a large number of shared libraries will do this; for each shared library, if the debuginfo packages are not installed, gdb will print the message "no debugging symbols found".
