"Bruno Mattarollo" wrote I have lurned to run gdb to get simple answers I can understand, or at least I believe I have :-) I runned: "file core" and got "core: ELF 32-bit MSB core file SPARC Version 1, from 'python'" Then I runned:

"gdb python core" and I got: "Core was generated by `/usr/local/bin/python /export/home/bmatt/iPersonal/z2.py -D'. Program terminated with signal 9, Killed."

signal 9? that's a kill -9. What's going on here???

...

[snip] after reading all the symbols... [end snip] "#0 0xfef45c8c in realfree ()"

try a 'where' at the gdb prompt. On my linux box, I can't find a call to 'realfree' anywhere in Python, the Oracle libs, libc, or in DCOracle...

thanks, Anthony
