View backtraces for core dumps generated under OS X 10.4.8 on intel macs

View backtraces for core dumps generated under OS X 10.4.8 on intel macs

[Paul Litvak]

The bug:

Can't view backtraces for core dumps generated under OS X 10.4.8 on  
intel macs.
GDB reports "Core file contained no thread-specific data" after  
loading the core file.
I can reproduce the bug with gdb in Xcode 2.4 and 2.4.1

The patch to Apple's gdb-563 sources:

Apple's GDB sources bear fairly little relationship to the FSF GDB
sources, which are all that we on this list can change; I recommend you
report this directly to Apple.

The xcode users list (xcode-users@lists.apple.com) is the best place  
for Apple gdb issues, and of course, for bugs use:
