guys i have found a bug in gdb. i am using Win95 version 4.00.950 with 32 mb ram. i am using mingw32 compiler 2.95.2 19991024 (release). my processor is Intel Pentium II 350 mhz. GDB version 4.18 this is what happened: i fired up my gdb. and wanted to see what commands are available. so i typed "help running" at gdb prompt. gdb stopped after a pageful of commands prompting: "---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---" i typed q at the prompt to go back to the prompt immediately. but it caused a "General Page Fault" saying "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down". It is receiving SIGSEGV signal. it's trying to access invalid memory. i was not doing anything special or wasn't my program very complex. then i tried the gdb without loading any programs to debug it again crashed. this is definitely a bug. i have tried restarting the maching and trying again. but it still crashes. following information windows gave me as it gives with every GPF. ------> GDB caused an invalid page fault in module GDB.EXE at 014f:004b0341.
