Making sense of a system coredump

[Alex Miroshnichenko]

Normal (BSD - like Unix ) usually have either adb or crash (or both).
On SGI you may use dbx in the kernel mode :
	cd to directory with your dumps and
	dbx -k vmunix.0 vmcore.0
After that you may try "where" command in dbx to see you stack trace.
Printing kernel structures is a little bit of a hassle (I usually just dump
memory and have system header listings ready :-). 

NOTE : the first argument to a function in the stack trace is often a garbadge.
