Description of problem: gdb crashes when I hit ^X and then 1 (which should bring up a nice ncurses window with a view of the source code.) gnome-terminal refused to scroll up, but here's what I got from the crash: http://rafb.net/paste/results/UjscKr81.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdb.i386 6.3.0.0-1.122 installed How reproducible: [mike in ~]$ gdb GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.3.0.0-1.122rh) Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. (blah blah blah, legal stuff) (gdb) (hit ctrl-X, release both, press 1 (one)) Actual results: A major crash, http://rafb.net/paste/results/UjscKr81.html I also tried tee'ing it to a log file, but it's mostly unreadable to me. I attached it in case someone here is well-versed in escape codes ;-) Expected results: A nice ncurses window with an interactive view of the source code.

Created attachment 134094 [details] gdb-6.5 patch fixing the memory corruption Thanks for this bugreport. Provided only the RawHide/FC6 version here - binary built for FC5. http://www.jankratochvil.net/priv/pr200048/

gdb-6.5-5 in today's rawhide should have the fix.
