[Chimera-users] segmentation fault

[Tim Richardson]

Hi,

I'm getting segmentation faults when using chimera. I tried to produce a
backtrace, but got an error:

[tim at nest ~]$ gdb chimera core.3777

Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

Could you advise how I might avoid a segmentation fault and what I'm doing
wrong with the backtrace.  Is there anything I can do short of installing a
VM and running the windows version?

Many thanks,

Tim Richardson
