[Orca-users] Re: Orca Startup Problem

[Blair Zajac]

I've seen orcallator.se core dump when there is a bad device filename or
filesystem on the system.  Next try

se -d -DWATCH_OS orcallator.se 5

and save the output.  Take a look and see if there's anything that looks
like it would cause a core dump.  Send the last couple pages of lines along.
