Re: GDB 4.18 and thread stack

    GDB 4.18 (LINUX Mandrake 7.1) seems to have a bug
    to report the stack of a thread having a page fault.
    When I run the below simple program, the commande "where"
    of GDB does not report the stack of the faulty thread.

    Does the GDB 5.0 fix this pb ?
    Does a previous version of 4.18 not contain this pb ?

The Linux kernel doesn't support core dumps for multi-threaded
processes.  There have been several people submitting patches to Linus
for such a feature, but thus far none have been accepted.  There is
nothing we can do in GDB until the appropriate support is added to the
kernel.

Sorry,

Mark
