[gentoo-amd64] gdb returns aborted

[gentoo-amd64] gdb returns aborted

[Mike Bonar]

Here's a puzzler.  My system is working fine, for the most part, but the 
other day I tried to get a backtrace from Blender.  I ran 'gdb blender' 
and it returned 'aborted'.  Then I ran 'gdb --help' and it returned 
'aborted' as well.  I re-emerged gdb, but no change.  I ran 
revdep-rebuild, but didn't find anything related to gdb.  I did not find 
any similar bugs on bugs.g.o or bugzilla on the gdb site.  I'm running 
gcc 4.1.1, modular X, and nptl.  Any ideas?

I'm sorry, this is not my 'Home Ground' - but if you do it like this you are
trying to debug the Blender file itself? To do that you must be certain that
the file has debugging symbols compiled with it. If you are trying to debug
the process that executed Blender, you must use a different set of tactics,
I believe. Probably something of the order of: "gbd 'memorylocation' "?

It looks to me as though the debugger exits, not because of an actual error
during debugging, but because there is nothing for it to do.
