random "illegal instruction" error in QNX

I am getting an “Illegal Instruction” error on the QNX OS with no core dump
and no stack trace. This error is random and I cannot recreate it at will.
It occurs often enough that it is slowing down development. Can someone
suggest a way or a tool that wiill be able to capture this phatom error and
shed some light as to why it is ocurring.

Really Appreciate the help… Thakns in advanced

Which version of QNX ? What’s the platform (x86? arm?)? A “uname -a” output
would help.

If dumper is running, (and point to valid storage), it should be able to
catch a
SIGILL and generate a core dump (default location is /var/dumps).

I doubt overheat (overclock) or cheapo IDE cable.

Or bad RAM perhaps.

Thanks Xiaodan

I was on vacation for a while there… The QNX version I am running is 6.2.0
MGT5100 ppcbe (this is a motorola manufactured hardware). I ran the dumper
utility and finally got the error again and a core file was generated. I
know that there is a utility out there
to interpret this core file. Any ideas?
