Ok, I'll try that. I have done some experimentation with gdb and other programs. It seems it *always* fails in this way. This makes backtraces and breakpoints useless (I can set them but they are never triggered). Evolution just froze when I tried to send this message! But this is another bug that I've been seeing for some time: "Evolution freezes when run under gdb and it spawns an external process such as gpg". I haven't reported _that_ bug yet because: <freeze> Cannot find thread 213003: invalid thread handle (gdb) where Cannot find thread 213003: invalid thread handle Cannot find thread 213003: invalid thread handle (gdb) kill Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y <gdb freezes too> <sam throws brick at computer> I guess I'll file a bug against gdb and hope the maintainers of that package can help me nurse it back to health! -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078
