[Bug gdb/10510] Use of follow-fork-mode child causes GDB to crash

["avi at checkpoint dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org>]

I tried using a snapshot from August the 18th (version 6.8.50.20090817-cvs). 
Machine configuration and program compilation is as before.

Using this snapshot, GDB does not crash, yet it fails to debug the child. 
Following is GDB output:

  (gdb) set follow-fork-mode child
  (gdb) c
  Continuing.
  [New process 3538]
  [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
  Executing new program: <our child program>
  Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Can't find member of namespace, class, 
struct, or union named <function with break>
  Hint: try '<function with break><TAB> or '<function with break><ESC-?>
  (Note leading single quote.)

  A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
  further debugging may prove unreliable.

  Create a core file of GDB? (y or n) y
  (gdb) bt 
  Target is executing.
  (gdb) quit
  A debugging session is active.
   
          Inferior 2 [process 3538] will be detached.
   
  Quit anyway? (y or n) y
  Detaching from program: <our child program>, process 3538

[Please note that the child program crashed following the detach (this crash 
does not happen when not debugged).]

Following is the backtrace of GDB, extracted from the GDB core file:

  (gdb) bt
