GDB 5.2 - New features

- Thread Support
- ==============

-
-Generic: lin-thread cannot handle thread exit (Mark Kettenis, Michael
-Snyder) http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/gdb/2000-q1/msg00525.html
-
-The thread_db assisted debugging code doesn't handle exiting threads
-properly, at least in combination with glibc 2.1.3 (the framework is
-there, just not the actual code). There are at least two problems
-that prevent this from working.
-
-As an additional reference point, the pre thread_db code did not work
-either.

-
-GNU/Linux/x86 and random thread signals (and Solaris/SPARC but not
-Solaris/x86).

-So, I've done some more digging into this and it looks like Jim
-Kingdon has reported this problem in the past:

-
-I can reproduce this problem both with and without Tom's patch. Has
-anyone seen this before? Maybe have a solution for it hanging around?
-:)
-
-There's a test case for this documented at:
-
-when debugging threaded applications you get extra SIGTRAPs
