I don’t think there is a dump file size limit in QNX4. Are you seeing
something that looks like truncated dump files? At a fixed size?

When we try to run the wd on the dump file,it gives a message that dump
file size is too big. The file size was around 7MB.

That’s odd. I’ve been working with dump file over 100MB without any
problem.

Odd. I’ve not seen that.

Hm… have you tried running dumper with -s to create sparse dump file, and
use sparse.trap rather than the standard postmortem trap file? (I think

(IIRC “wd -tr=sparse”, rather than “wd -tr=pmd”).
