hey tom,

PFA the output of gdb with back trace after the crash.
i have used scipy/numpy arrays quite extensively. is that causing the crash??
please help me in debugging further.

The backtrace includes this line:

 #10 0x00007f70da35965d in _wrap_gr_vector_sink_f_sptr_data (

    args=<value optimized out>) at python/gnuradio_core_gengen.cc:60241

Which says that you are using a vector sink. This is a C++ stl:::vector that you are filling with data for 2 - 3 minutes, probably at a pretty high rate, too, right? Have you looked at the memory consumption of you machine while you are running it? You're just growing this vector like crazy.

The vector_sinks are not meant to be used like this. You should probably try saving the data to a file and it back in to analyze the data.

after executing a GNURadio flowgraph for sometime (typically for abt 2-3mins) the code crashes and
the following message is displayed.

We're going to need way more information than this to help you. This error tells us almost nothing about where the problem might be.

Here's a helpful process. In the Python program, right at the top before any functions are declared, put this in:

import os

print os.getpid()

raw_input()

That will print out the program's PID and pause it, waiting for you to hit enter. In another terminal, run "gdb." Inside gdb, type:

attach <pid>

c

Where the <pid> is what was printed by the progra. The "c" tells the debugger to continue. Now, go back to the program's window and hit enter. When the crash occurs, gdb will pick it up. You can then type "bt" in gdb to get a back trace of the program. This will help identify while line of what file caused the error.
