This change is not related to the Roland> NT_AUXV note in fact (both just happened the same week). What Roland> you should be looking for is the readelf -l (objdump -p) Roland> output from the core file, for the segment with vaddr Roland> 0xa000000000010000 (GATE_ADDR). Check that its size is Roland> PAGE_SIZE. You can also verify it in gdb while looking at the Roland> core file by checking that e.g. "p (char *) Roland> 0xa000000000010000" shows "ELF\177" and that "x/w Roland> 0xa000000000010000+PAGE_SIZE-8" (substituting the right Roland> PAGE_SIZE value) works (and shows you zeros). All those tests pass. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au You are lost in a maze of BitKeeper repositories, all slightly different.
