In fact, gdb from FC3 supports ONLY character sets ASCII and ISO-8859-1 which is quite annoying for anybody using other character sets. To see which character sets are supported, launch gdb then enter: (gdb) set charset <TAB><TAB> (where <TAB> means pressing the TAB key) and gdb will display a list of supported charsets: ASCII ISO-8859-1
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
