bleeding edge gdb 5.1 : build 20010812

[wim delvaux]

HI all,

I have some serious problems with thread cleanups.

Before I was running gdb 5.0 and could not find a way out.
I had already dropped down to assembler stepping (stepi) to notice that
in one
statement there was not problem
STEPi once more and BOOM "ptrace: no such process" ????????

So having read that 5.0 had 'serious' problems with threads I decided to
download and try 5.1 - bleeding

Compiled ... no problem
Ran ... no problem
debugged ... well after a program error (probably related to the problem
I was tracking down) I got message

Cannot find user-level thread for LWP 24544: generic error

Thread info when running was ... so indeed LWP 24544 was a thread
(actually 2049 points to the pthread managment thread)
[New Thread 2049 (LWP 24544)]
[New Thread 1026 (LWP 24545)]

Oh well I though, let's restart and try  but then I got

(gdb) quit
Cannot find thread 2049: generic error

and i could not leave 5.1 (kill it was the only solution)
