Core Dumps

Question: running circle on a Linux system (Linux cmoo 2.0.29 #3 Sun Sep 21
21:42:33 EDT 1997 i586), and, as is standard, when the mud crashes it
generates a core file. Problem is when I go to use gdb on it, it says:

Couldn't fetch registers from core file: File in wrong format
Couldn't fetch registers from core file: File in wrong format
#0 0x0 in ?? ()

     It is the right file (lib/core). Any ideas? It's GDB 4.15.1
(i486-slackware-linux), Copyright 1995 Free Software Foundation, Inc...
working with gcc).

     Tried recomp'ing w/ -ggdb, same result.

     Thnx.
