Hi Tom

I've noticed this issue pop up a few times on the list and noticed that the 
wiki suggests starting the app
under control of GDB.  This has in the past caused me a lot of "Heisen-bugs" 
because GDB really messes
with the timing of some apps.
The true old-fashioned way was 'core' files (I learned Fortran on a machine 
with 8K of 16-bit words of core ;-).  I've put together
a writeup on using this alternative method of invoking GDB, which is at 

http://op25.osmocom.org/wiki/wiki/DebugPage

If you feel like incorporating this verbiage into the main GR wiki, I'd be 
happy to send you the raw markup...

Best Regards

Max
