To whom it may concern:
I'm getting a "SEGMENTATION FAULT" with the address and I'm having
trouble getting to the address using insight. I can locate an address
if I'm in the function browser and I disassemble and hunt for the
address (using window). But what if I do not know which function I'm
getting the SEGMENTATION FAULT on. It's tedious to hunt through all the
code.
Thanks.
Any suggestions would help.
Tom

I'm afraid you're going to have to give a little more information. Can
you see a stack backtrace? [Open stack window; or open console window
and type "bt".]
You should be able to deduce what happened unless the program did
something that corrupted the stack or whatnot.
If you send the output of "bt", I can tell you the best way to proceed.
[Feel free to obfuscate function names if you're worried about it.]
If you know the address where the segfault occurred, you can open a
console window and type "info symbol ADDRESS" to find out what symbol
best matches the address:
$ ./gdb -nw -nx -q gdb
(gdb) p main
$1 = {int (int, char **)} 0x8090e70 <main>
(gdb) info symbol 0x8090e74
main + 4 in section .text
