Hoo hah, that sounds familiar. Also check select() while you are at it. On my i686-pc-linux-gnu most of the test suite problems showed up with sleep(), but real code is more likely to be in select(). And check out testsuite/gdb.arch/i386-prologue.exp i386-prologue.c. This has to be done for a lot of targets. :( Daniel J suggested using the s390-tdep.c 'abstract execution' engine on every target and I think that's a good idea. Michael C
