I'm using Insight on my Debian 2.0 x86 Linux box.
Occasionally I get this message:
Cannot insert breakpoint 0
When I get this my only recourse is to exit gdb and start over. This
is highly annoying because the above error tends to occur most often
when I'm debugging a program that uses dynamic loading (meaning I have
to go through a somewhat involved dance just to get the breakpoints
set up how I want them).
What does this message mean? What, if anything, can I do about it?

I think this means that GDB can't insert the breakpoint which will
tell it when the dynamic linker has loaded or unloaded something. Can
you give us a full reproduction recipe?

I will if I see it again.
For the time being I'm not debugging that program any more.
Also, even when I was, it didn't happen all the time.
