Just F.Y.I. -
We've got some fixes to gdb that are needed - not sure which
version of gdb we're talking about. They address problems debugging
programs with sufficiently large frames.
We haven't gotten them integrated with the GNU source trees
yet - but, we're working on it (just need to properly sign them
over... even in "free" software, there are legal issues :-) )
Unforunately, I'm not privy to the details - but I can post
here later if anyone is interested (including patches.)
