Couldn't get registers: No such process.

This is probably a timing related bug in the implementation of GDB. When debugging programs that spawn threads using back to back gdb sessions, some runs will allow one to do debugging, and some runs won't.
Sorry, but this is basically useless as a bug report.  If you would
like GDB to be more reliable debugging your applications, you need
to provide us with enough information to reproduce and diagnose the
problem.  If you do, I'll be glad to take a look at it as soon as
time permits.


And for what it's worth, the 2 bugs I was seeing (one of
which had the same symptoms as the above) Daniel seems to
have fixed (the latter is AIUI awaiting commit to CVS).
