RedHat Linux 7.3, gdb compiled from source with gcc 3.2.2
>Description:
When I run gdb on this trivial program:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  printf("hello world\n");
}

The result is when I load into gdb:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /cs/home/jas/hello 

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x40000b50 in ?? ()

If I "continue", I get:

gdb) continue
Continuing.
hello world

Program exited with code 014.

The program was compiled with "-g".

This occurs on all programs that I try to debug with gdb.

This must be my problem, but I don't know what it is.
