Hi Eric,
<cc'd to wine-devel so anyone with a similar problem can google for the fix>
no, it's normal you get this. In fact, we should simply abort the loading. Does this work better ?
I can't test it unfortunately, but it looks like the right thing to do. I asked on bugs@binutils and was told to upgrade to binutils 2.15 to fix the bad stab generation. Sure enough, this fixes the issue (which means I can't duplicate this behaviour any more). It also fixed a bunch of other random crashes in my app; There were obviously some needed fixes for huge (40 MB in this case) .so generation.
So perhaps printing a message to upgrade binutils to >=2.15 when the stabs are found to be corrupted would be appropriate? I'm not sure how prevalent this version is in the wild (my mdk 10 community uses 2.13).
I'm investigating now to see if debugging works as expected (so far, so good)
Thanks, Jon
