Package: gdb Version: 6.3-6 Severity: normal Hello,
when trying to debug one of my programs I encountered a case where gdb crashed on the command "break main" before my programm was even started. The problem occurs on a powerpc machine. Since the files are largish, I put them up on my web page instead of appending them to this mail. The files are http://seehuhn.de/data/gdb-bug - the binary http://seehuhn.de/data/gdb-bug.i - the preprocessed source 1) Reproducing the bug. You will probably need the atlas3-base and libg2c0 packages installed to reproduce this.
