Oh, sorry about that. I was running on a RedHat 5.2 on Intel system
with Linux kernel 2.2.9 and glibc 2.0. I have not been able to
come up with example code that generates this error, as the
program I was debugging is rather complex. I was getting
the error while debugging tclsh with itcl loaded, and a Tcl
interp stuck in a while {1} loop, but it does not happen
every time. I do not get this crash in regular gdb but I
do not have a good test case so that might not be saying much.
