Does this issue with GDB 5.3 still remain in FreeBSD 4.8? http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/gdb/PROBLEMS?con tent-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src *-*-freebsd* --------------- Due to a kernel bug (kern/35175), detaching from an attached process will very likely cause the process to be stop or die with a Trace/BPT trap. i386-*-freebsd[34]* ------------------- There is a bug (bin/41671) in FreeBSD's gcc that causes it to emit bad debug information when using the stabs format (which is the default). As a result GDB tends to place breakpoints on functions before the function prologue, and information about function parameters and local variables is lost. In earlier versions of GDB the effects were rather limited, but starting with GDB 5.3 the influence is much more prominent. As a workaround, compile your code with -gdwarf-2.
