The following patch is a back port of the 2.5.18 tcore patch I posted last 
week.

It applies cleanly to the 2.4.18-ia64 tree.

The ia64 SMP version has been tested and works very well.

To use this patch you will need to strip the objects from the libpthread 
module loaded by GDB at post mortem debug time.  
('strip /lib/libpthread-0.9.so for my system', YMMV)
