Sorry -- that was my bad. I was retyping the session. I did use "p 
strlen (foo)", and gdb returned "$1 = 5".

As long as I've worked on/with gdb, even I had to ask!

Try:
(gdb) set debug infrun 1
(gdb) set debug lin-lwp 1

Another co-worker asked to double-check your system security settings. 
He seemed to recall that Debian had "some SELinux-like security 
features" which could prevent function calls from happening. [I don't 
know anything about Ubuntu/Debain -- I use them only for testing.]

In any case, hopefully the debug statements will help shed some light on 
the situation.
