Re: why is "gdb /home/gat/JAVA/JDK16/jdk1.6.0/bin/java" so broken?


Show me the 'funny'. It would be real neat to understand why libthread_db fails before surmising.

After some 60min of running javasoft's java, the program finally dies of a segfault. I have been trying, and apparently for several years now, according to the gdb bug base, to get GDB to work with java & threads.
Version 6.4 does not work any better.
there is something wrong in libthread_db.so. I'm not yet willing to just replace the libs, as this may affect the 'heap' bug that shows itself randomly.


So whats goin on with gdb?


Probably the JDK does something funny with threads that bypasses
libthread_db.
