Comment 35 for bug 1533793

Hello Julien,

I followed your steps, but sadly gdb can't recognize the 5.9GB coredump file:

root@gnocchi-metricd:~# file core
core: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program header sections (451)

done.
"/root/core" is not a core dump: File format not recognized
(gdb) bt full
No stack.

Is there any other way we could proceed?

Many thanks, regards.
