GDB/M68K bug?

[Hans Zuidam]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a remote backend to gdb 4.16 but ran into some
strange problem.  If I do:

	file ...
	b main
	target ...
	run

everything is ok, but when I do:

	file ...
	target ...
	b main

gdb will dump core with a SEGV.  It looks as if something is being called
recursively, but I can't find what.  Here is some of the stack just before
the SEGV:

	#0  bi0501_xfer_mem (pt=50331720, pl=0xefbfd980 "NV", len=2, write=0, t

ad infinitum.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
