I was trying to get a dump files from 'terminal app' by gdb..

here is the problem i got stuck in ..


--------------------------

loaded symbols for /system/lib/libmemalloc.so
Cannot access memory at address 0x400db1d4
0x40107980 in ?? ()
(gdb) gcore /sdcard/ing
warning: Unable to fetch general registers.
warning: unable to fetch the floating point registers.

--------------------------


when I checked the dumped file, It was just 60kb ..

I don't know what to do.

Please give me an advice for solve this problem..
thank you.

Caveat: I'm not an android programmer, but I've dealt with some memory funkiness in other ways.

The first thing I would do is a memtest or similar to check to see if the device's memory is actually working properly. If there's a hardware problem, it would produce something like that, and no amount of cleverness on the programmer's part would fix it.

(Further input from an Android programmer is likely needed.)
