Help on debugging smbd daemon with GDB

[meow at computer.org]

         The GDB version I used is 5.3. That's the latest stable version I 
could get from the GDB web site. So, all I can do now is report this bug 
to them.

        But then, how do samba developers debugs samba ?
        Do they just reading log file generated from DEBUG() and using 
strace ?

        Somehow, I think this approach would be difficult & take a long 
time to debug Samba for a newbie like me ....
 

Regards,
Yen

You have detected a bug in GDB.  You'll have to get a fixed version of
gdb before you'll be able to successfully debug smbd (or anything
else) with it.
