Subject: gdb received signal SIGSEGV before even entering main!
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2002 05:55:14 +0000

The program I ran gdb on a very standard hello world program, it crashes even 
before main is entered. 
Anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?
Any help is appreciated.

The following is a running script:
