Re: [Caml-list] Out_of_memory

Do you mean something more than gdb? I've used gdb and I get the
following stack trace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 1075667072 (LWP 9819)]

#7  0x08059be9 in caml_main ()
#8  0x08059d60 in main ()
(gdb)

I'm not sure where to go from here. What do you recommend?

Thanks
