Re: GDB does not stop in breakpoint!

[Richard Stallman]

    I put a breakpoint in Fx_create_frame. When I start emacs using "r" , the
    breakpoint is never reached, and the X windows stops responding.

There are times, when the screen is grabbed, that stopping the program
would cause X not to respond.  If you have put the breakpoint at a
line which is in the middle of a grab, that would explain this.

Most of the code inside Fx_create_frame is NOT in the middle of a
grab, and this problem should not happen in those places.

Can you connect from another machine with ssh and run gdb from
the other machine?
