hi Rasmus,

I would have but I don't know how - I have just come to realise that php actually has an idiots
guide to doing that (thanks for pointing that out :-):

http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

I'm doing this backtrace thing for the first time - its not all plain sailing ....
having finally generated a core file (and found where apache had out it) I came to
the realisation that gdb was not installed (any had the pleasure of working on
RedHat Enterprise Server ?!?!)

well I downloaded gdb6.3 sources and try to install - make exits with an error.
so I can't install gdb to create the backtrace ...

any ideas? the errors I get when trying to build are below (I have googled to try and find
away past this problem with any success) - if you have any idea as to what I could do to
get gdb built I would be very grateful:

----------------------------------------
If you got this far...

another question regarding apc: when I intall it via pecl it asks me
whether I want to use mmap or shmget - I choose mmap bu5t I was wondering what the difference
was and whether shmget is a viable choice (mmap seems to be the recommended choice).
