Description of problem: when debugging a go program, gdb eats memory at what looks like 1GB/sec and brings the machine to its knees. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdb-7.6.1-41.fc19 How reproducible: fairly reproducible, nearly 100% of the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. git clone https://github.com/amahi/spdy-proxy 2. cd spdy-proxy 3. make 4. gdb bin/p 5. run 6. ^C 7. goroutine 4 bt Actual results: gdb stops responding to ctrl-c and the machine becomes unresponsive. on another ssh session, i could see gdb brutally eating memory Expected results: show a backtrace Additional info: sergiodj produced a test rpm that has a patch for this issue. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6003277
