Summary: Linux cscope core dumps

Initial Comment:
After compliing cscope version 15.3 in Linux version 
2.0.36, cscope core dumps.

Used cscope to build database. It builds a cscope.out
file. Then if anything is searched, it core dumps.

Please help.
Attached is the core file.

You'll have to either mail the core file to one of us
personally, then, or do the analysis locally.  We can help
with that.

In a nutshell: 

1) make sure your cscope is compiled with debugging
information in
   (a "make clean  all CFLAGS='-g -O2'" should see to that,
in case of
  doubt)
2) recreate the corefile. Try to parse as simple a source
file collection
    as possible that still recreates the bug. The cscope
source itself
   preferred

3) run

	gdb cscope core

    and then, from the gdb> prompt:

	where

and show the output here.

A bit more information about your Linux box would also be
valuable. 2.0.36 is only the version number of the kernel
itself. The versions of GCC, the libc and maybe flex, too,
might be necessar to narrow in on this.

Here are the answers to your questions:

Distribution: I got it from cscope.sourceforge.net.
The version is 15.3 or whatever the latest was about a 
week ago.

Processor: Intel 686
Linux OS version: 2.0.36 

The core file is too big to fit in your bug report max
file size. file size = 282624 bytes. MAX=256K.

Can you provide a little more info about which distribution
you are using and which processor.

My guess is that you are using a very old version of Linux
with possibly outdated libraries which is causing this
problem.

Also no attached core file.
