Hi Ananda,

Yeah, that may well be the reason.  I don't remember if you provided the
version of GDB, so using an old one is likely to not work with recent
packets, of course :-).  It might be good considering updating the
version, or maybe backport the patch that implemented vCont on
gdbserver.

Anyway, I also wanted to let you know that this mailing list is actually
not the official one of the GDB project.  Unfortunately, it is not
documented anywhere so some people still send email to this list.  For
future questions, please e-mail <address@hidden>.

Thanks,
