<p><em>The following is a cleaned up log I wrote for myself while debugging a bug. Writing a log while working helps me keep track of the debugging effort in case I’m interrupted (life, sleep, work, etc.). It also requires me to explain all findings to myself in fully spelled out sentences, making my thoughts considerably easier to follow.</em></p> <p><em>In addition to serving as an example of a personal debug log, I hope it can be useful as an introduction to debugging segfaults or other low-level bugs.</em></p>
