I'll bet you're right. Let me build the official 7.5 sources myself and see
what happens. I'll let you know.

Thanks... Dave

> GNU gdb (GDB) 7.5-ubuntu

I think this is probably specific to Ubuntu, maybe caused
by one of the patches they apply.

I tried this on my Fedora box using CVS HEAD gdb, and also
the upstream gdb 7.5 build, and it worked fine.

Could you try an upstream gdb?
If it still fails for you, we can try to get a more useful
stack trace.
If it doesn't fail, then I guess we can close this bug.
