注意：我使用的是在使用 libxml-ruby gem 时遇到的段错误来说明问题，但我已经用所述 gem 解决了我的问题。这个问题的真正含义是从 gdb 中查看带有核心文件的 Ruby 回溯（即解释器在 Ruby 代码无法处理异常时打印的相同内容），解释器本身遇到分段错误。
在生成 XML 文档时，我遇到了一个奇怪的段错误，其中包括：
/railsroot/vendor/isolated/ruby-1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-1.1.2/lib/libxml/node.rb:123: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [x86_64-linux], MBARI 0x6770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2011.03
Aborted
更新 1：这个 segfaults 在 vanilla Ruby (MRI) 下也是如此。
我打开了 corefiles 并查看了 gdb 中的回溯（见问题的结尾）。我可以看到解释器在哪里崩溃，谷歌搜索会导致很多有希望的结果。除了解释器回溯之外，我希望看到的是 Ruby 代码本身的回溯（即从解释器的角度来看的回溯）。
我希望在 gdb 中加载核心将允许我调用一些解释器函数来打印出解释代码的堆栈。
有任何想法吗？
对于好奇的人，这是核心和回溯：
