[Bug 84080] Re: Metacity crashes at startup

[Thomas Thurman]

Oh, thanks. That's nifty.

So now I have a file called CoreDump, and file thinks it's a coredump
and gdb doesn't. Am I doing something wrong here?

marnanel at ubuntu:/tmp/ap$ file CoreDump 
CoreDump: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from 'metacity'
marnanel at ubuntu:/tmp/ap$ gdb CoreDump
