It appears that= =20 one thread (always the same thread) has a corrupted stack (always at the sa= me=20 address). I guess I need to set a hardware watchpoint in a remote debugging= =20 session to find the piece of code which is corrupting the stack. There is one gdb mailing list thread about "supporting hw break/watch for=20 embedded ppc", which makes me think that there is at least a patch or=20 workaround available to set hardware watchpoints on a ppc board. Thanks, Wolfgang
