# No core?

Don't have a core file?

    $ gdb app/gimp-2.6
    [ blah blah GPLv3 blah license blah ]
    (gdb) run

Run until it crashes, then use where.

About that license spew ...
if you don't really need to read about the GPL and so forth every single time you run gdb, gdb -q will shut it up.

If you want a homework assignment, download the gdb source code and figure out how to turn it off.

Hint: the easy (though inelegant) way is to find where it prints all the license stuff, and just have it print nothing instead.
