Description of problem: I run gdb to debug a threaded program and after few hours, it crashed. The conversation follows: [New Thread -1255498832 (LWP 26282)] [Thread -1255498832 (LWP 26282) exited] /usr/src/build/475318-i386/BUILD/gdb+dejagnu-20040607/gdb/lin-lwp.c:667: internal-error: wait_lwp: Assertion `pid == GET_LWP (lp->ptid)' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Quit this debugging session?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdb-6.1post-1.20040607.43 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. debug a threaded program Actual Results: Debugger crash Expected Results: Debugger works Additional info:
Yowch. No clear steps on how to reproduce this nor any information on which program was being debugged and what input it had been given. I don't hold out any hope for this bug report...
1. No clear steps because it is not easily reproducible - as I wrote above but I can write again it happened after few hours of just using the program being run under the debugger. 2. debugged program: balsa - I assume it matters? 3. Input: "run". That's it.
I'm sure that extra info could turn out useful. You can get a core file by changing your ulimit -c setting (man bash for more information about that) before running gdb.
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!
I am sorry for being silent about this: I have not seen the problem after upgrade to FC5.
Okay, thanks.
