I've been using TotalView on OSF-1 for a while (not by choice, FWIW): I've
yet to find a good reason to prefer it over gdb (et al.). The first step is
obviously to enumerate its compelling features. I would be willing to go
through the TotalView manual and put together an initial list.

It looks like GDB is going to get some serious competition on
GNU/Linux, in the form of TotalView, which is a pretty elaborate
debugger for parallel applications.
It would be a shame if GDB (plus the various GUIs) were not the most
powerful debugger available on Linux; so we should be thinking about
how to provide TotalView's functionality within the GDB framework.
See http://www.embeddedtechnology.com/read/nl19991026/25177 for a
few more bits.
