This is a known (and probably unsolvable) problem with the Xt
libraries. It used to be that XEmacs died immediately, so there has
been some improvement.

Unfortunately this is useless... I if interpret the gdb mailing list
archives correctly this because gdb prior to gdb 4.18+patch from july
cannot interpret the linux kernel trampolines.
If you [or any body else running Red Hat 6.x] have the time could you
try a development snapshot from gdb
(http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gdb) to confirm that is fixed that would
be nice.
