Description of problem: Because of a problem with thread_db, one has to start the threaded program as a regular executable. On another tty, u attach to the process with gdb pgm procID. This only attaches one ( of many threads ). Gdb is not aware of any of the other threads. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I suspect always reproduceable. Steps to Reproduce: 1. get javasofts jdk. 2. run one of the demo's ( dont use gdb ) 3. try to attach to all the threads that are a part of the demo. There a few procID's. Actual results: u only get one of the many threads. u also dont get to observe the sigsegv fault that happened in another (unknown) thread ;-{ Expected results: maybe all the threads will be known to GDB? So when i 'c', gdb will catch one of the threads segfaulting. Additional info: i can help with the java demo setup, if need be.
Unable to reproduce on: FC5-i386 gdb-6.3.0.0-1.122 3188bedc75d4500f599558427b95156c /home/lace/arch/java/jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin jdk/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar Caught all the 12 threads on "attach" (compared with the list seen by "ps -eLf"). Apparently it was not crashing so the reproducibility test was not perfect.
