Package: gdb Version: 6.3-5 Severity: normal I'm not sure what is wrong, but often when I try to debug a program that uses threads, I cannot get a proper backtrace. Instead, I get something like this (the example is from gst-compprep-0.8):
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction. 0x0f08de24 in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 (gdb) where #0 0x0f08de24 in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #1 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #2 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #3 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #4 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #5 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #6 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #7 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #8 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #9 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #10 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #11 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 #12 0x0f08dd4c in mpeg2_detect_accel () from /usr/lib/libmpeg2.so.0 Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
