[Mono-list] How to debug mono's SEGFAULTS?

[Vadim B. Guzev]

Hello,

Is there any good tutorial on how to debug Segmentation faults which occur while running mono applications?
I've filled a bug report #362036 about my case: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=362036
Now I'm trying to run gdb to get some additional info:

--8<-----------------------------------------------
[vadim at skif tests]$ gdb --args mono --debug /home/vadim/pcsharp/bin/pcsc.exe /home/vadim/pcsharp/tests/test01.pcs

(gdb) run

--8<-----------------------------------------------

But it just doesn't work at all... gdb is halting...
Any hints?
