Re: GDB fails from Kdbg

[Brad Aisa <baisa@colorado.edu>]

Can someone add my test program (clipview) to the PR 2019? I can email 
it directly to someone....

The program works when debugged from the command line as follows:

gdb clipview
r

Here is the instructions someone was given from the kdbg people who 
were trying to debug this, which I followed -- this is basically the 
commands issued by Kdbg, as copied from a log of launching with Kdbg:

gdb
set editing off
 set confirm off
 set print static-members off
 set print asm-demangle on
 define kdbg__alllocals
 info locals
 info args
 end
 set prompt (kdbg)
 file "clipview"
 set args
 info breakpoints
 info line main

At the "info line main" point I got:
Segmentation fault
