I confirm this behaviour. I didn't use wine, but with a lot of programs I tried
gdb just hangs.
I tried running a simple bash script but even that doesn't work. Sometimes
Ctrl-C can stop the process so you can quit gdb, but other times gdb hangs and
I have to kill it.
If you use 'set print inferior-events', you see that the new process is
started, but nothing happens.

Can someone confirm this still happens with the latest release? Seeing
"set debug infrun 1" and "set debug lin-lwp 1" output would also be
interesting.

TBH I don't know whether this issue is the same I'm experiencing.
My problem appears to be that a forked (notice that I don't really not what
syscall it uses) process doesn't freeze execution. If I Ctrl+C I can change
inferiors and invoke 'continue'. Then this process forks another process, again
I Ctrl+C and change the inferior, then when I run it it seems to finish and gets
listed as 'null' in the inferior list. Then I can't continue the inferior, gdb
says they have no threads.
Funny thing is that I ran with the parameters you suggested. Before I ran it the
second time I enabled logging, than the execution did not freeze! I'll copy it
from the terminal and attach it.

> My problem appears to be that a forked (notice that I don't really not what

Why would it? Did you have "catch fork"/"catch vfork" set?
> If I Ctrl+C I can change

again I Ctrl+C and change the inferior,
Did you mean to use "set schedule-multiple on" to have all inferiors
running simultaneously?

If the inferior exited, then it will have no process id, hence <null>.
> gdb says they have no threads.
If the program isn't running anymore, it can't have any threads.
I think most of your problems will go away with "set schedule-multiple on".
(gdb) help set schedule-multiple
Set mode for resuming threads of all processes.
When on, execution commands (such as 'continue' or 'next') resume all
threads of all processes. When off (which is the default), execution
commands only resume the threads of the current process. The set of
threads that are resumed is further refined by the scheduler-locking
mode (see help set scheduler-locking).

------- Additional Comments From flavio dot etrusco at gmail dot com 2010-04-08 01:25 -------
Thanks for the tip on "set schedule-multiple on", I've been looking for a
setting like this for quite some time in the documentation(s).
But I anyway, trying gdb behavior seems erratic, not even running the child process.
Also, unfortunately the option didn't fix the problem for me.
> Did you have "catch fork"/"catch vfork" set?
No.
> If the inferior exited, then it will have no process id, hence <null>.
Sure.
>> gdb says they have no threads.
> If the program isn't running anymore, it can't have any threads.
I meant the other inferiors, 1 and 2, not the exited inferior 3.
> I think most of your problems will go away with "set schedule-multiple on".
I'll attach the session (should have done it before...).
Thanks.

These issues don't seem to have anything to do with gdb freezing, and we're
going quite offtopic by now. Please open a new bug report. While doing so,
please paste the relevant bit of the GDB session in the bug report body, and
describe what you think is wrong, so one doesn't have to open an attachment
and guess to quickly analyse the issue. Thanks.
