Does resulting core dump "looks" ok? it should be elf file of size 1MB or more. Do i remember correctly that gdb crashes even on coredump created by simple { int* x=0; *x=1; } program? >> can you try "gdb -nw --core=foo.exe.core" in the step 5?

I haven't changed anything in dumper since 1.3.6-6, so it's probably won't help. you can wrap dumper.exe into dumper.cmd file and call it with debugging output to see what's going on. anyway, i believe that even if dumper creates wrong dump file, gdb shouldn't crash on it. Is it possible for you to send me by private mail your foo.exe.core.bz2 (along with debugging output from dumper.exe, if possible), so i could take a look at them?
