Re: core dump in Pro*C

There is a system call named stat(), which is most likely replaced by your stat variable. When the stat() call is executed, it will then attempt to execute your variable, which has the effect you mention. You'll have to rename your variable. This is, BTW, not specific to Oracle; any C program where stat() is called and is a variable at the same time will behave like this.
