Joel,
This is under darwin10, however I am seeing a totally new error
than before. A week ago gdb would report errors about opening the
mach port. Now it seems to not even recognize the binary as being
valid. So unless the error code in gdb was change, it seems to be
a new bug. I'll post the exact error message tonight.
