This is a warning that is generated from somewhere in the depths of gdb. It is generated when, for some unknown reason, gdb cannot restore the target state after an inferior function call. I seldom see them when I am not doing inferior function calls or forcing a function return. I would not expect to see this message simply from printing the value of a variable (unless the variable is in an inferior function call). > I'm using CVS Insight sources. Do I need to be concerned about this message? I usually just ignore them (but I haven't seen one in ages). YMMV. You can also ask on the gdb list: maybe they have a better answer. gdb@sources.redhat.com Keith
