Description Marko Mikulicic 2002-06-16 06:53:10 UTC

gdb 5.1.1 doesn't handle correctly threads.

when a thread is started gdb interrupts the program with signal SIG32,
instead of showing "[New Thread whatever (LWP whatever)]".
 The same version of gdb on Mandrake 8.2 works well.

I've tested it with glibc 2.2.5-r2

Attach the smallest C/C++ program that exhibits this bug, and I will conjure up
a fix.

Try:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

before starting gdb.

There may have been a mail on this matter, but I forget. I assume that since
there is no reply to this bug, the workaround is successful.
