I'm trying to run gpg from my php script using exec(). But it chashes with segmentation fault: "gpg: Segmentation fault caught ... exiting" It crashes within a child process so my php script works ok. To identify a problem I wanna get a core file. I tried to run 

ulimit -c unlimited
echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable

I added "* soft core unlimited" to /etc/security/limits.conf but no core files have been created.

I would be very thankful for any advice or ideas.

From the output message, it seems gpg catches the exception (is this true?).

You can try the gcore command if applicable. Otherwise, if the source code is available (which I assume is, as you are debugging it), you may use, for example, google-coredumper. Not sure if this is sufficient for you though.

  • I have the sources but I can't understand how google-coredumper may help me. It's able to dump in certain place in the code but I don't know that certain place where it crashes. – user101159 Mar 03 '10 at 12:40

    @sfoid Another option is to try to run it with valgrind, which may point out the error. Looks like a tricky problem. – amit kumar Mar 03 '10 at 14:24

May be you can start to think that your problem can be gpg catch some exceptions or PERMISSION issues. Check it first.

Hope this help
