[oclug] debugging using ddd

[Bart Trojanowski]

Greg, you are not doing anything wrong.  I just found out that there is a
small inconsistency in how break/continue is done in gdb 5 with the new
kernels.  When I did thread debugging I was using gdb 4.x and linux 2.2.x.

I figure you are running gdb 5.x and linux 2.4.x, right?

So try to see what the gdb people are saying about this.  Keep us posted.

Bart.
