On getting the hypermail program debugged.
Make sure to pass the "-g" flag to gcc so debugging symbols get
added.

Once done change to the directory with the executable

> gdb executable.name

you then should get a prompt like

(gdb)

at this point type run followed by the command line parameters

(gdb) run -m mymailbox -d .

or whatever your command line is.

it should then segfault on cue.

then typing where should give you a line number where the program is
breaking whether it is in a library or in user code.

If you need feel free to page me 608-9104.

Later,
Corey
