Description Øyvind Harboe 2003-05-02 11:58:00 UTC

[Converted from Gnats 1199]

This is a significant problem because e.g. Eclipse.org CDT issues "info threads" all the time in order to update the GUI.

This is the only thing that stops Eclipse CDT from running the arm emulator.

Release:
arm-elf-gdb 3.2/3.3
