Yes, it is reproducible with cthreads.
In fact, I encountered the bug while debugging a cthreads program.
(I knew I forgot to mention something...)

I just now also confirmed that it is reproducible with a minimal example
to make sure it wasn't something particular to that program.

Is this reproducable with the equivalent cthreads code?  It may well be that we have to teach GDB about pthreads.

When debugging a multithreaded program with gdb, breakpoints triggered in
separate threads results in a SIGTRAP as if it was a regular terminating
signal.  For instance, with the program:


#include <pthread.h>

void *
foo (void *arg)
{
  return NULL;
}

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  pthread_t t;

  pthread_create (&t, NULL, foo, NULL);
  pthread_join (t, NULL);
}



the bug can be like this:


(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048507: file /home/cfhammar/src/hurd-test/gdb-threads.c, line 14.
(gdb) break foo
Breakpoint 2 at 0x80484f7: file /home/cfhammar/src/hurd-test/gdb-threads.c, line 6.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/cfhammar/test/hurd-test/gdb-threads

(gdb) continue

There are no problems when all the breakpoints are in main().  I have
only tested with gdb 7.0.1-2 from Debian.
