  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>I have also had situations where what shows in the core file doesn't seem to
  35 </I>&gt;<i>have to do anything with the bug. I've actually been trying to fix one. I
  36 </I>&gt;<i>haven't even been able to locate where the bug is because the core file
  37 </I>&gt;<i>doesn't point it in the right place.
  38 </I>&gt;<i>
  39 </I>&gt;<i>What exactly does this mean, and what is the best way to go about
  40 </I>&gt;<i>finding/fixing these types of bugs?

  42      Depending on what Services was doing when it crashed and what caused
  43 the problem, gdb may not be able to get backtrace information from the
  44 stack and only print out garbage pointers.  If this happens, about the only
  45 thing you can do is put in debugging statements or run Services under gdb
  46 and set breakpoints around where you think the bug is happening, and hope
  47 you manage to catch it.
