On a GNU/Linux system, with today's CVS configured as shown below, and
with GDB 6.7.1, I don't get this problem.

Why is libthread_db being used? does your build use GTK+ or some other
library that uses multithreading?

Here's how my CVS Emacs was configured:

    ./configure --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no

   [...]

   Configured for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'.

     Where should the build process find the source code?    
[...]/eliz/emacs.cvs/emacs
     What operating system and machine description files should Emacs use?
           `s/gnu-linux.h' and `m/amdx86-64.h'
     What compiler should emacs be built with?               gcc -g -O2 
-Wno-pointer-sign
     Should Emacs use the GNU version of malloc?             yes
         (Using Doug Lea's new malloc from the GNU C Library.)
     Should Emacs use a relocating allocator for buffers?    yes
     Should Emacs use mmap(2) for buffer allocation?         no
     What window system should Emacs use?                    x11
     What toolkit should Emacs use?                          LUCID
     Where do we find X Windows header files?                Standard dirs
     Where do we find X Windows libraries?                   /usr/X11R6/lib
