	Yes indeed, threads, lots of threads !

	The applications are not large but have a lot of dynamically loaded
	libraries, which, btw, has another annoying effect that when you 
	start gdb on a core file you have to press ENTER (q does not seem to work)
	a few times because of the 'loading symbol messages'.  Can you get rid of
	that prompt ?

	To give an example if you step over a function with 'n' it sometimes takes 5 
seconds to skip over that function (even if that function is nog complex at 
all)

	What should i be looking at to give you more info.

	Thanx for the reply
