Re: Cannot find new threads: generic error

[Laurent Carlier <lordheavym at gmail dot com>]

Sorry if i break the thread, i find these mails wihile seraching about this 
problem.

I got the same problem when running gdb with a program using dlopen() too and 
under debian sid (the same problem occur under the last ubuntu release)

I've filled a bug report on debian bug tracking system:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496494

So the output from gdb is:

The output is:
