I've just tested with v7.9.1 with galculator, same outcome:

====================================================================

(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40a830
Starting program: /usr/bin/galculator
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Temporary breakpoint 1, 0x000000000040a830 in main ()
(gdb) record
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Do you want to auto delete previous execution log entries when
record/replay buffer becomes full (record full stop-at-limit)?([y] or n) y
(null)Process record: failed to record execution log.

I've had a look at their bug tracker, there are 566 open bugs currently
(...) with a few mentioning record, even one where I posted over a year
ago to, completely ignored:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16785#c1

So it seems to be unmaintained (according to my definition) - not going
to waste my time posting a further bug (being ignored just makes me very
angry, and I not programming to be angry).
