Hi Pedro, please find the requested output below. This was on a trivial C++
program. This is the most typical outcome. I agree this does not necessarily
have to be a gdb bug, since the crash *appears* to be in glibc. This run was
with glibc-2.11.3, but I've tried 2.13 before and it had the same outcome. No
other app I've tried crashes with SIGILL, therefore I suspect gdb must be doing
something that causes this crash, maybe it's just revealing a glibc bug? Again,
the crash disappears if I limit gdb to only one CPU.
