Resuming a single suspended thread on Linux

[Yaki Tebeka]

Hi Daniel and Jim

I tried the suggested solution, but unfortunately, it does not seem to work.
I am running Fedora Core 5, 64 bit on an AMD processor.
After I call "set scheduler-locking on", and "continue", the entire
debugged process seem to remain freeze.
I tried setting my data collection thread as the active thread and
even setting the main thread as the active thread, but both options
does not seem to work.

Do you know if its a GDB bug, or an "expected behaviour" on Linux?

Can you suggest another solution to my problem?

Thanks

  Yaki
