I got a problem when starting Matlab 2011b on ubuntu platform running a server with Intel Xeon processor.
I installed this version of matlab with network lincese, and installation process was quite well done.(I hope so, but there is no extra warning).
When I start matlab with binary in
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2011b/bin/glnx86 name MATLAB
program dump a core-dump and received SIGSEGV.
I got a backtrace using gdb as follow.

Any comment? or help?
Any word with your attention will be appreciated. Thanks.
You shouldn't start MATLAB directly from your architecture-specific directory. Try running /usr/local/MATLAB/R2011b/bin/matlab instead.The script performs some initializations and is platform-aware. The initialization process is needed because MATLAB uses quite specific (older) versions of some libraries.
If your problem persists, though, I'd contact customer service of The Mathworks.

We are trying to daemonize a binary that is linked to 1 shared library. After creating a fork, the parent process gets exit due to which the shared library gets detached.
Below is the stack.

Can somebody let us know how to daemonize such process which is linked to a shared library?
Im building a shared library on linux. the library ".so" was sucessfully created, but when I tried to link it to a test application (with an empty main) and run the executable I got a segmentation error : "Segmentation error (cure dumped)"
when I tried to debug it with gdb and check the backtrace I got this output:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Im not familiar with gdb debugging, and it's the first time Im trying to build a shared library on Linux, but it seems to me that it has something to do with the library dynamic linking.
If anyone had any idea about this error and could help me, I would be grateful.
It doesn't have anything to do with dynamic linking or shared libraries - one of the constructors in libsharedCUFP.so (I assume this is your shared library) is most probably passing an illegal address to a function in libcudart.so which crashes.
You simply need to debug your code.
On analysis of the core of a process (terminated by signal 6), on LINUX, stack bt shows :
Core was generated by `/opt/namsam/pac_rrc_qx_e1/bin/rrcprb'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.

libc seems to have gone in some loop.. Did something go wrong with the application "rrcprb" here..? please help me debug this issue..?
Since __epoll_wait_nocancel does not call itself, it's pretty clear that the stack trace you've got is bogus. Most likely cause is incorrect unwind descriptors in your libc.so.6.
It's also somewhat unlikely that you actually crashed in epoll_wait. Try thread apply all where, and see if there is a "more interesting" stack trace / thread for you to look at.
I am working on multhithreading application when ever the process dump it always generates core as shown below i am not able to understand where it is actually dumping.

GDB 6.5 is quite old. You will likely get significantly better stack traces from (current) GDB 7.0.1.
You also appear to be trying to debug optimized code, built without -g flag, and you may not be debugging the right executable (GDB warns that your executable is newer than your core).
Make sure that your executable and all the libraries listed in info shared GDB output exactly match between the system where your core was produced and the system on which you are analyzing the core (if they are not the same) -- this is paramount -- if there is a mismatch, you'll likely get bogus stack traces (and the stack traces you've posted do look completely bogus to me).
Looks to me like you're using iostream inside a multithreaded application without the appropriate flags. See this. In particular, note that it says
When you build an application that
uses the iostream classes of the libC
library to run in a multithreaded
environment, compile and link the
source code of the application using
the -mt option. This option passes
-D_REENTRANT to the preprocessor and -lthread to the linker.
This is for a particular platform; your requirements may vary.
This is on a Redhat EL5 machine w/ a 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5 x86_64 kernel using gcc 4.1.2 and gdb 7.0.
When I run my application with gdb and break in while it's running, several of my threads show the following call stack when I do a backtrace:
#0 0x000000000051d7da in pthread_cond_wait ()
#1 0x0000000100000000 in ?? ()
#2 0x0000000000c1c3b0 in ?? ()
#3 0x0000000000c1c448 in ?? ()
#4 0x00000000000007dd in ?? ()
#5 0x000000000051d630 in ?? ()
#6 0x00007fffffffdc90 in ?? ()
#7 0x000000003b1ae84b in ?? ()
#8 0x00007fffffffdd50 in ?? ()
#9 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
Is this a symptom of a common problem?
Is there a known issue with viewing the call stack while waiting on a condition?
The problem is that pthread_cond_wait is written in hand-coded assembly, and apparently doesn't have proper unwind descriptor (required on x86_64 to unwind the stack) in your build of glibc. This problem may have recently been fixed here.
You can try to build and install the latest glibc (note: if you screw up installation, your machine will likely become unbootable; approach with extreme caution!), or just live with "bogus" stack traces from pthread_cond_wait.
Generally, synchronization is required when multiple threads share a single resource.
In such a case, when you interrupt the program, you'll see only 1 thread is running (i.e., accessing the resource) and other threads are waiting within pthread_cond_wait().
So I don't think pthread_cond_wait() itself is problematic.
If your program hangs with deadlock or performance doesn't scale, it might be caused by pthread_cond_wait().
That looks like a corrupt stack trace to me
for example:
#9 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
There shouldn't be code at NULL
