Problem with gdb/mi under hp-ux 11.11, aix 5.2, gdb 6.7.1

[Thomas Mittelstaedt]

Hallo,

Some more investigation shows that the forked gdb runs at about 90+ % 
CPU and the truss
output shows that floating point exceptions occur.

sigvec(SIGFPE, 0x7b042560, 
0x7b042570)                                         = 0
  Received signal 8, SIGFPE, in user mode, [caught], partial siginfo
    Siginfo: si_code: I_EXCEP, faulting address: 0xc015fd6b, si_errno: 0
    PC: 0xc015fd6b, instruction: 0x27c11200
sigvec(SIGFPE, 0x7b042560, 
0x7b042570)                                         = 0
