I have a 2-way x86_64 , a 32-bit application and SLES9-2.6.5-7.233. A
breakpoint has been set in the kernel to debug the application. When the
breakpoint is hit the system drops in to kdb, and after a 'go', the
32-bit application dies with 'Trace/breakpoint trap'.
The problem does not occur on the vanilla kernel 'linux-2.6.14.2.tar.gz'
and kdb patches 'kdb-v4.4-2.6.14-rc2-common-1' and
'kdb-v4.4-2.6.14-rc2-x86_64-1'.
A one line in kdbasupport.c helps solve the problem with
SLES9-2.6.5-7.233.

Is there a patch that has gone in to kdb to solve the problem, pls let
me know.
Thanks,
