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
Start thread 4

Thread started
5 threads are running...
Thread done

**snip*

The output with the debugger is:

drzoom@toe:~/Entwicklung/kdevelopthreadbug/bin> /usr/bin/gdb kdevelopthreadbug

I tried the same with gdb 6.1, 6.2.1 and with 6.3. Everywhere the same 
problem.

The example as attachement.
