We need to examine the file /var/cache/abrt/ccpp-1264742082-1914/coredump to understand this bug.  If you still have that file on hand and can make it available to the elfutils maintainers, please do.

Yes, I kept it - /var/cache/abrt/ccpp-1264742082-1914/coredump uploaded as requested.

Comment 4 Petr Machata 2010-02-16 17:02:37 UTC
It's reproducible on my machine.  I'm looking inside and seeing some weird stuff.  It fails after requesting a section name from offset (decimal) 1179403647.  Strangely it gets it, the section claims the length of 0x1000100010001 (should this be familiar magic constant?).  The elf_from_memory ELF that this section comes from is full of weird sections with sh_names like 2101296, 250598379, 1882027109, etc.  Apparently it's reading wrong data, or the dump itself is broken.  I'm investigating further.

Comment 5 Roland McGrath 2010-02-16 22:24:03 UTC
If you look at 1179403647 in hex, it becomes obviously familiar and you realize that it is little-endian *(int*)ELFMAG.  That's always a clear sign of reading things wrong.  I think we certainly have several bugs here, and fixing some would mask the others.  Let's continue this on the mailing list.
