Given your experience and that columbus never did that to me, I think I will pass on your debug builds, no offence :-) Anyhow, I am pressed for space and installing all of gdb, dev libs is unattractive.

BUT, I have 2 core-dumps from columbus under different usages, one streaming one not. So lets see if this helps at all. Details of file access sent via PM.

Setting up core dumps is simple:

(as user)
Code:
mkdir ~/MyDocs/core-dumps
(as root) add the following repos to /etc/apt/sources.list

Code:
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/sdk free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/tools free non-free
then
Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install sp-rich-core
And then you wait for misbehaviour..... whereupon core-dumps folder will offer what ye seek.

PS: remember that the dumps will accummulate as programs misbehave, and if you forget that, you may be surprised by diminishing storage over time. Bit like enabling syslog....
