Corrupted stack backtrace on Solaris

Could someone explain why the following corrupted stack trace can occur?

Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

The core occurs from a process built on x86 machine. If the backtrace is performed on the machine executing the process, the backtrace is perfect, with full frame information. However if I do the backtrace with the core on the build machine (a different machine), I the trace above.

One obvious thing I considered was different patch level on the OS One has 5.10 Generic_138889-03(execution machine) and the other has 5.10 Generic_138889-02 (build machine) So the rev number is off. Would this be the reason? Or what else could it be? Anything I can do to see full frame information to allow me to examine core memory in more detail?

Would appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks.

Make sure that you have on the build machine completely the same set of shared libraries as on the computer that is executing the process. If this is not the case copy all shared libraries that are used by your process from the working computer to a folder on the build machine, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to this folder, start gdb and run bt again.

The full list of relevant shared libraries you can get with the info sharedlibraries command in gdb on the computer that is executing the process.
