Mandrake 9.1 kernels (including the latest) still have problems when trying to use gdb. If I use any kernel from mdk9.0 the problem goes away.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat main.c
#include <stdlib.h>

int main ( )
{
printf("hello world\n");
}

Since our linux workstations are used heavily for development of internal software this creates serious problems for maintaining our workstations. We noe have to hack around getting older kernels installed so the workstation isn't useless. Please fix this problem.

If Mandrake would like to witness this problem for themselves, I can arrange for a visit to the lab in pasadena, ca.
