>Description:
The printing of the mmx registers disappear when a 64 bit program is loaded.  When gdb is started and "maintenance print registers" command is given you get the normal 32 bit register display with the mmx registers. But when a 64 bit program is loaded "maintenance print registers" gives the correct state (16 integer, 16 xmm registers,floating point,etc.) but no mmx is printed, and the command 'p/x $mm0' returns "Value can't be converted to integer"
>How-To-Repeat:
Just load a 64 bit program to debug.
>Fix:
?
