Re: Bug#131033: gdb 5.1 dumped core on me [was: Emacs abort under gdb]

   As for the bug, I have verified that it is in fact fixed upstream. 
   >From your core dump:
   
   esp            0xb7e7b414       0xb7e7b414
   ebp            0xbfffe75c       0xbfffe75c
   
   I.E. the stack frame for child_xfer_memory is several MB large.  You
   may have been debugging a very large variable or something along those
   lines.  There was an alloca() in child_xfer_memory that could cause
   this exact problem, and it has been removed.

Wonderful, thanks.  This is what I had been told was probably the case,
but I had no way to verify.  Now it's sure.  May I delete the core and
all?
