Hi Marcus  
This writeup on using gdb is great!  
I noticed one very small nitpick, the “find” command will fail on any  
system that doesn’t suffix the ‘core’ file name, returning no results.  
On my system here (and every ubuntu I’ve ever used), the core files that  
get generated are simply named “core”…  
The first computer I started on (IBM 1130) had real, actual, genuine  
core storage. Of course, during the intervening 40 years I’ve only ever  
seen core dumps when running programs written by others; my own code  
_never_ has any had any errors, bugs, or faults, whatsoever 😉

Best Regards  
Max
