dbx: internal warning writable memory segment of size 0

While trying to load a core file using dbx I get the following warning:

dbx: internal warning: writable memory segment 0xfa8b0000[16384] of size 0 in core

There doesn't seem to be an explanation in:

(dbx) help core

What does this message mean?

EDIT

The rest of the output:

core file header read successfully
Reading ld.so.1

dbx: internal error: signal SIGBUS (invalid address alignment)
dbx's coredump will appear in /tmp
Abort (core dumped)

And dbx exits without loading the core.

Solution

  • Got solved by upgrading Solaris Studio to version 12.3 and using the newer dbx from there.
