"Thalia" --pdump, gdb (?) can't access memory

mb> I don't remember saying that, but I shoot my mouth off a lot, mb> yeah... I'm even too lazy to check in the archives. Anyways, mb> I haven't claimed this bug as my very own yet. Go for it. Can't. GDB is broke. I'm going to CVS update and try again. If that doesn't work I'll turn off pdump. I'll let you know, but I don't think I'll get to it before I leave my workstation (CVS is slow). gdb worked fine with 21.2.43, same configuration as below. The data loss bug is still present, as xemacs will run if it's not under gdb I was able to confirm that. bash-2.04$ gdb xemacs GNU gdb 5.0 Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
