gdb stack trace shows only those frames after the signal


Hi,After handling a signal the previous stack trace is lost. Is this a known problem? Any fixes?Hardware Environment: Intel
x86Software Environment:Linux RHEL 3; gdb-5.3.90-0.20030710.40rh; glibc 2.3.2-95.6; gcc 3.2.3 20030502 Also occurs with SuSE
Linux.Steps to Reproduce:1. compile the testcase (under Additinal Info below) with "gcc -o t mytrap.c"2. run "t"3. attach gdb to the
"t"'s PID and type "where"Actual Results:[root@localhost root]# gdbGNU gdb Red Hat Linux (5.3.90-0.20030710.40rh)This GDB was
configured as "i386-redhat-linux-gnu".(gdb) attach 2032Attaching to process 2032Reading symbols from /home/krishna/t...done.Using

&oldact );   printf( "About to call functiona\n" );   functiona();   return 0;}Srikrishnan
