great news. I think you might be the first one.

gdb backtraces would be helpful in those cases. I have not seen any of those,
at least not in configurations with a single BTS. The only case I remember
seeing this is when you have multiple BTS in the same location area, which is
currently not supported.

that is strange, and definitely works here.

I have also noticed the missing collection of IMEI numbers, but have not yet
debugged it.
Regarding apparent "wrong" numbers: We are inquiring the IMEI, whereas what you
see on *#06# is the IMEISV. It might be that this is the vcase.

we all work with gdb. What we usually do is to do something like 'ulimit -c
unlimited', then start bsc_hack. When it crashes, it leaves a 'core' file.
You can then start the debugger using 'gdb ./bsc_hack ./core' and see the backtrace,
navigate through the call stack, etc.
