Of course. And gdb also connects to port 1000, so this part
seems to work.

Target is i386 (Debian Sarge running kernel 2.4.27). I tried it with gdb version 
6.1 and 6.3.

Ok, thats funny - with this option set it works. Without "set debug remote 1" 
the application "hangs". But I can disable it after starting the application and 
it continues to work. So at least this is something I can work with. It still
shows only the creation of the main thread, but "info threads" prints out all
eight threads and I can switch to each of it.
