Re: GDB crash problem on cygwin.

Hi,

With today's cvs and your testcase, (again you haven't mentioned which 
version of gcc and binutils you used to build it.) With whatever older 
version of the h8 toolchain that I have , on cygwin I didn't get any 
problems with the simulator. (from GCC CVS head in July / August 04 and 
binutils head in the same period . )

info frame gave me correct frame info and the simulator did not crash.

One way for you to go forward would be to run gdb within gdb and see 
exactly where it crashes, then maybe you can analyze it further.

HTH
cheers
