>Description:
The problem is that I have a multi-threaded program that crashes when I hit a break point in a thread. When I hit a break point I get the message "Program terminated with a signal SIGKILL, Killed." The program no longer exists. 

At one time I was able to set break points in the threads but I added a lot of new components to my system and this error began appearing. I was originally on an older version of GDB but upgraded due to this error. 

This is a staticly linked program that uses libpcap and one of the crash points is in a pcap callback function, which I assume runs on the pcap thread. I also have another application thread that also crashes upon hitting a break point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide any system or application information that you may need.

Thanks,
