I have a couple of other items to add to this list of things which isn't working in gdb. 1) Calling inferior functions no longer works. (At least it didn't in the recent Red Hat release. I'm rebuilding gdb now with the TurboLinux release to check it there.) I've done some investigation of this problem and it looks to me like the RSE backing store is changing under us (gdb that is) when bsp is changed. 2) Hardware watchpoints no longer work. Again, the value returned by the kernel looks suspect. There appear to be a couple of bits that were reset... In general, the state of gdb isn't as good right now as it used to be. There was a time when I was seeing only between 20-30 test suite failures. The number is now over 700. Kevin
