Thanks for bringing these problems to my attention. > I have fixed them in "upstream" utrace (http://redhat.com/~roland/utrace/) > and those changes will appear in Fedora update kernels before too long. > I've also added regression tests for them to the ptrace-tests suite > (http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/tests). Thanks for the quick fix! I'll verify that it works for me as soon as the patches are included in Fedora. (I'm assuming it is too late for them to get into Fedora 8 at this point, right?) > These are not gdb issues at all, just Fedora kernel bugs. (Any > regression in ptrace ABI behavior of this sort from vanilla Linux kernels > is an unintended bug.) The normal method is to file Fedora kernel bugs > via https://bugzilla.redhat.com/.

Thanks, I'll do that if I find further utrace-related problems. Bye, Ulrich -- Dr. Ulrich Weigand GNU Toolchain for Linux on System z and Cell BE Ulrich.Weigand@de.ibm.com
