[JDEV] Jserver Core Dump - redhat 5.2

[Eric Bowersox]

Hmmh.  Most of our testing on Red Hat-based machines has been on 6.0 or
better; it's possible that there's some sort of incompatibility in your C
library or something.  (I tried to start it up on a RH 5.2 box once and it
didn't work, and I wound up reformatting that box anyway for other reasons.)

Do you have a full postmortem stack backtrace?  You can get this by doing
"gdb /usr/local/jabber/bin/jserver core" (adjust path as appropriate), then
issuing the "bt" command to gdb.
