Hi all,
I was wondering if someone has encountered the same problem that I have
with their mud. Can someone explain to me what in the object files is
causing the mud not to boot? I commented out the offending if statement so
that we would at least boot, but that feels like such a temporary fix.
Here is the output from my GDB session:
(gdb) run
