Crash in gdbserver on ppc405 - what vintage of libthread_db is recommended?


I tried gdbserver on the ppc405 on a large multithreaded C++ program
compiled with g++3.0.2 or so.  All I did was 'break main'
and 'cont', and gdbserver crashed.  So I updated to last week's
snapshot (ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/snapshots/current/gdb+dejagnu-weekly-CVS-20020709.tar.bz2),
built gdbserver for debugging, and reproduced the problem while debugging
gdbserver.  Here's what popped up.  Looks like the call to
td_ta_thr_iter is bombing.  I'm using the libthread_db from Hard Hat 2.0,
dated about a year ago; perhaps I need to use a newer version?
Or is gdbserver itself misbehaving?
