Package: gdb Version: 6.8-3.3 Severity: important Tags: patch Re: [RFC] Fix for gdb crash in "info thread" after exec(). http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-05/msg00710.html fixes the issue for me though http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-05/msg00727.html is told to be better (sorry not tested the latter yet). But both should test the java testcase in gdb that segfault too (trigger debreaper).
Note : sun jvm seems not to like gdb very much as eclipse crash in various ways while debugging eclipse . Though starting eclipse then gdb -p $(pidof eclipse) around the time eclipse was crashing helped me find out that it was opening too many file descriptor and overflowing the fd_set array when calling FD_SET. Thanks for this great tool even though it did not pinpoint the problem as FD_SET is assigning to an array in a macro at least it made it obvious the stack was corrupted at this stage. Valgrind is too slow with eclipse and java (one day long and it crashed). *you saved my life* in many ways :) I share the pointer to those patch if not to be included at least maybe they could be tried by other having issue with threads. I hope it will be included upstream soon.
