I found the same problem, but unfortunately have no solution either.
Applications work fine (all multithreaded). The problem seems really to
be inside gdb. I tried to apply different patches I found on the net.
With no luck. The two different problems were either gdb dumping core
or some 'unknown signal' message from gdb, probably referring to 
inter thread communication.

by the way, the core dump happens when the program is run, 
not when it is loaded.
