Two weeks ago I learned how core dumps work on ELF-based operating systems. Last week I managed to write C code to produce symbolic stack traces from core dumps on at least 2 different operating systems and 3 different CPU architectures. This week I used that to identify why the Python interpreter is core dumping on an embedded target.

I'm closer to 60 than 50 years of age and am closing in on 40 years of professional software development experience. I like to think I can still learn new tricks.
