[OLUG] interpreting core file

[Mike Hostetler]

Make sure that gdb (the GNU debugger) is installed and then run:

	gdb -c core

If you don't have gdb installed (some distros don't install it by default), you should if you
are debugging apps.  It is an extremely valuable tool - one of the best the GNU have ever
come up with, IMHO.
