(gdb) p (char)0x28
$1 = 40 '('
(gdb) p (char)0x1c
$2 = 28 '\034'
(gdb) p (char)0x19
$3 = 25 '\031'
(gdb) p (char)0x48
$4 = 72 'H'
(gdb)
Almost ASCII text... Perhaps a color code or something?
BTW, 'bt full' in GDB is quite useful. I'd also recommend checking out
Electric Fence (libefence). Efence will show you when corruptions occur in
most cases instead of the usual behavior of crashing when someone accesses
the corruptiuon.
