gdb-5.0 bug

[Sean Ahern]

I compiled gdb 5.0 on Linux Redhat 7.1 (I believe) using the default
"configure/make/make install" commands.

While trying to debug a program (compiled with gcc egcs-2.91.66) that loads
shared libraries, gdb became unusable.  It issued hundreds of messages
like:

    rw_common (): read: Input/output error.

Eventually it printed the following error:

    fetch_registers: td_ta_map_id2thr: generic error

Which isn't too useful in determining where I should go from here.  :-)

After that point, most commands to explore my program didn't work.  I was
able to quit, though.
