However, the first time I try to step, gdb crashes with the same segfault as before.  And, to answer your question from the last email, it really is gdb that is crashing -- the target program runs fine both under the distributed gdb and outside of the debugger.

This is perfect! Insight isn't even in the backtrace! :-)

Please send/forward your excellent message to the gdb list. They've been
churning the dwarf2 readers for a little while now, and it looks like
you've either uncovered a bug or are missing a recent patch.

In either case, the whizzes on the gdb list (gdb at sources dot redhat
dot com) will be able to guide you better.

PS. Your message is perfect! An example session and a backtrace! How
refreshing!
