Try a newer version of gdb... with Red Hat Linux 7.1, and a simple
test program, it seems to work:

[teg@halden teg]$ cat memtest.c 
#include <malloc.h>

main()
{
  char *foo = malloc(1);
  memset(foo, 0, 2048);
}

[teg@halden teg]$ gcc memtest.c -o memtest -lefence -g
[teg@halden teg]$ gdb memtest
