Others (see bug #4000) have noted that this is due to a problem with XFS. I haven't seen this problem on a 9.1 system that uses ext3. It's also been reported that only if the root partition is ext3, and the other partitions are XFS, there is no problem. This problem is in all the kernels since 2.4.21-0.13mdk, and all, including the current 'cooker' release, use the same XFS patch snapshot 2.4.20-2003-01-14_00:43_UTC I've built a clean 2.4.21 kernel, and applied the current patch from SGI SGI XFS snapshot-2.4.21-2003-06-23_01:45_UTC for version 1.3 of XFS, and the debugger works. I suggest that an entry in the 9.1 Errata be made that systems that are to be used for development shouldn't use XFS.
