As mentioned earlier the multithreading-patches made for redhat-5.2 
and gdb-4.17 does not seem to work with redhat-6.0 and either gdb-4.17
and gdb-4.18.

Yesterday I tried to apply different patches to different versions
of gdb under redhat-5.2 - but either gdb reported that the signal-
handlers were incorrect or it core-dumped directly after starting
the debug-program.

Since I've just upgraded to redhat-6.0 I'm equally anxious to get
gdb up and running. I'll try to contact H.J Lu or some other to
get the status.
