SuSE 7.2 linux on IA 64 machine with 2.4.4.kernel
>Description:
i am using intel 64 bit machine running with SuSE linux with 2.4.4 kernel.
if i do a gdb gdb (yes, trying to debug gdb itself) then i am getting memory fault. I tried the same thing on intel 32 bit machine with SuSE 7.1 with 2.4.0 kernel, there i am not getting any problems.

Thanks in advance.
