However, I've run into a number of nits, including: - When multi-page output occurs, such as "info threads" on a kernel core, you somtimes cannot use 'q' to quit from the list, despite the --more-- prompt text indicating that you can. On the other hand, sometimes it does work...? - Ctrl-Z appears not to suspend the kgdb session, but does for gdb. - When an xterm is resized, kgdb doesn't notice, so the pager will stop long or short of the current window size. >How-To-Repeat: kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.8 (etc) >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
