The "long-standing bug" was gdb/1322.

  "internal-error: sect_index_text not initialized" after printing a java type

Thanks, I'll add:


* Java

A long standing bug involving Java and dynamic libraries has been fixed (Ref: gdb/1322: "internal-error: sect_index_text not initialized" after printing a java type).

Hmm, did the equally long standing print java string bug also get fixed?

I don't know what "minimal" means, specifically.

I'm told that It works really well at backtraces, but starts to struggle when printing variables, values, and objects, and really struggles with dynamic compiled/loaded shared libraries. As for byte codes :-)
