Hi Jim,

  pthread_test.cpp demonstrates the problematic behavior. It is built
using

 g++ -g pthread_test.cpp -lpthread

 The version numbers are

$ cat /proc/version

(kojibuilder@xenbuilder2.fedora.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070502
(Red Hat 4.1.2-12)) #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 15:37:31 EDT 2007

and gdb snapshot for July 24th

$ gdb --version
GNU gdb 6.6.50.20070724
