At this point, it would help if you do the following: . Print the value of filepos: (gdb) p filepos (gdb) pr . Print the value of Vdoc_file_name, which should be a string: (gdb) p Vdoc_file_name (gdb) pr . Print the value of Vdoc_directory, which should also be a string: (gdb) p Vdoc_directory (gdb) pr . Produce a Lisp backtrace: (gdb) xbacktrace . Post here the results. Thanks! Note that, for these commands to work, you need either to start GDB in the src directory or type "source /path-to-src/src/.gdbinit" inside GDB, because the commands `pr' and `xbacktrace' are defined there.
