If i try to debug an multithread application with gdb, the threads aren't
started. Without gdb all is working fine.
An minimal example program for Qt with qmake.
The regular output would be:
**snip**
drzoom@toe:~/Entwicklung/kdevelopthreadbug/bin> ./kdevelopthreadbug
start 5 thread
Start thread 0
Start thread 1
Start thread 2
Start thread 3

The output with the debugger is:

I tried the same with gdb 6.1, 6.2.1 and with 6.3. Everywhere the same
problem.
The example as attachement.
kind regards
