>Description:
When executings pthread_create, the gdb debugger locks up.  Below is an example program (snatched off the web) that replicates this behavior:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void* function(void*p) {
  while(1) {
     printf("function %i\n",(int)p);
  }
  return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  pthread_t threadID;
  for (int i=0; i<5; i++) {
    pthread_create(&threadID, NULL, function, (void*)i);
  }
  return 0;
}
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile as follows:
g++ test.cpp -lpthread -o test

Execute "gdb test" and "run"
