[Asterisk-Dev] Trying to use gdb..strange result

[Matthew Boehm]

I'm developing my own custom app at the moment and I want to use gdb to step
thru the code to debug it. I used the following command line:

gdb /usr/sbin/asterisk

Then: "set args -vvvvdgn"
Then: "run"

I get this:

Starting program: /usr/sbin/asterisk -vvvvdgn

??? But asterisk starts and runs perfectly if I run it by itself.  Why would
asterisk run OK by itself but have this SIGSEGV when inside gdb? There are
only 2 applications that even use mysql and both of them run fine when in
standalone mode.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Matthew
