Hi Marco,


I seem to have missed this...

I thought it was a stack issue and I raised from 2M to 8M

It *is* a stack issue of some sort, otherwise it wouldn't have called
___chkstk_ms, which is the guard page handler.

Did you find out in the meantime?

No. I put at side the issue and reported as upstream regression
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/netcdfgroup/2015/msg00192.html

As the crash is on initialization of a test program
is not too high on my TODO.

SizeOfStackReserve      0000000000200000

SizeOfStackReserve      00000000007a1200

with no success.

May be it is not a netcdf bug ? Ideas what to look for ?

If it's prior to main, it must be some constructor.  Other than that,
no idea.



Hmm, the relative path might break finding the debuginfo.  You
should be able to help gdb by calling

   (gdb) dir /usr/src/debug/gcc-4.9.3-1/libgcc/config/i386



thanks. I will try
