You are very welcome. GDB is quick and easy to build (and very easy to use to debug itself). You could apply these patches to the source, make install, and have yourself a better GDB right away. If you need exact recipe, let me know.

Yes, same here. We were happily working on an older GDB and were shocked to find these bugs when we refreshed our software. I am wondering if there is a GDB language maintainer for objective-c.
