Created attachment 351586 [details] output of ‘emerge --info =sys-devel/gdb-7.6’ When playing around with setting gdb options after retrieving a long backtrace (in this case, ‘t a a bt f’ for blender in bug 474070), gdb itself crashes. I typed the following commands a the GDB prompt: t a a bt f (pressed ENTER two or three times to get the next screenful of the backtrace) set print f[TAB]
Created attachment 351588 [details] backtrace, generated by running gdb inside gdb
i don't suppose you have a program other than blender that could trigger this ? or maybe a simple program that does recursion ?
could also try the new 7.7 release
