-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks,
I've come across some stack corruption when debugging a program with gdb. I thought this was a problem with my code, but it's (AFAICT) verifiably correct, and shows no stack corruption on i386. As a result, I think this is a powerpc/gdb bug. Please could someone try to reproduce this on their powerpc system? Steps to reproduce: 1. Download testcase from http://www.whinlatter.ukfsn.org/gtk/uterm-stacks-0.1.0.tar.bz2 2. Configure with CC=c99 ./configure --prefix=/tmp/inst 3. make all install 4. cd utils 5. ./uterm-register [confirm the program runs OK] 6. Debug: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/uterm-stacks-0.1.0/utils$ gdb .libs/uterm-register GNU gdb 6.3-debian [...] This GDB was configured as "powerpc-linux"...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

I'm fairly certain this is bogus. This is current Debian unstable, with Linux 2.6.11.8.
