Locate core dump?

[Huaiyu Zhu]

Hi,

I'm using octave for some heavy number-crunching and got core-dumps quite
often (after one hour computing).  My programs are quite complicated so
it's unlikely to reproduce the bug in a shorter program.

Since octave says " .... stopping myself", I'm wondering if it's possible
to show the calling sequence when it failed.  That way I may be able to
localize it in a shorter program.


error: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
error: attempted clean up seems to have failed -- aborting...
IOT trap/Abort (core dumped)
