[RFA] Document breakage of Solaris Thread Debugging

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 296 bytes --]

Hello,

Following the creation of threads/2137, I propose the following addition
to the PROBLEMS file. It's a bit terse, but I don't know more details of
the problem.

2006-06-20  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@adacore.com>

        * PROBLEMS: Document threads/2137.

OK to apply?

Thanks,

Oops, I forgot to mention that I already applied this on the branch.
I thought that we had already done this, but I noticed during the
pre-release routine work that this wasn't the case. So I documented
it the best I could in order to avoid having to wait and then hold
the release for another day.

Did you really mean "GDB 6.6"?

Ooops, NO! I meant 6.5. Good catch.

With the 6.6 -> 6.5 correction this patch is fine.

I think this is another one of those files where you should feel free
to check in patches yourself; the release manager ought to be able to
document issues with the release!

Thanks. Checked in with the correction made.
