I'll probably not get around to trying the CVS gdb, so I filed
a bug against 6.8:

  http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10328

If somebody does try out CVS, please add the results to the bug
above.  It might also be useful to know if the same problems
occur when using glibc instead of uclibc, but this is probably
the wrong place to ask for data from glibc users. :)
