i386 Fedora Linux, kernel 2.4.22 (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl), gdb 6.0, glibc-2.3.2
>Description:
with gdb 6.0 and gdb+dejagnu-20031114 if I attempt to debug openoffice.org I get an error on "run" of
warning: Unexpected waitpid result 02057f when waiting for vfork-done and in my ps list I see the process that OOo spawns off as "getstyle-gnome <defunct>". After this error gdb/OOo freezes.
>How-To-Repeat:
run latest debugging OpenOffice.org (m11) under gdb 6 + latest Fedora Linux
>Fix:
If I reverse that patch I find at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2003-08/msg00274.html then it continues without freezing.
