Tomcat crashes

Hi,
I am using tomcat 6 and the server crashes all of a sudden creating a core
dump file.
I have no clue why this is happening.

Can you please suggest on what all details I need to provide so that some
one can help resolve the issue.

Thanks
Kam

On which platform ?
Which precise version of Tomcat ?
Where did you get this Tomcat from ?
Can you elaborate on "all of a sudden" ? Is it like 1 minute after it 
starts, or after a year of working fine ?
Do you know where this Tomcat's logfiles are ?
If yes, did you consult them to see if maybe there is an interesting 
message in them, right about when Tomcat crashes ? (shortly before, 
usually).

Core dump == JVM crash. This is unlikely to be Tomcat's fault. When the
JVM dumps core, it should leave-behind a crash file in plain text
explaining what happened. Can you post that file? Have you looked at the
core file (using gdb or some other tool) to determine the nature of the
crash?

I'll bet it's a SIGSEGV (segmentation violation, signal #11) and that
you have bad memory, motherboard, or memory.
