This version is a refresh from the CVS repository on sourceware.org. The package also contains the "insight" graphical debugger. This version fixes the problem of extraneous SIGSEGV's that were generated by certain functions in the cygwin DLL. It should no longer be necessary to continue past these errors since they should now be silently ignored. I had delayed releasing this version of gdb because I was getting sporadic "invalid handle" errors in some situations when attempting to restart a program within gdb. However, since I can't easily duplicate the problem, I thought that it would probably be a good idea to release gdb even with a known bug -- given the number of complaints about the SIGSEGV's seen in the cygwin mailing list. Unlike most cygwin packages, my preference is that bug reports for the insight debugger, and the tcl/tck packages that insight relies on, should go to the insight mailing list at sourceware.org (the host of the cygwin list and cygwin web site). If you do send a problem relating to those packages to the cygwin mailing list, expect to be redirected there. Remember that to start the insight debugger, you type "insight". Typing "gdb" just brings up the command line debugger. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
