Make sure that you have the following patch (to glibc) applied.  I too
was having problems with debugging multithreaded programs that were
linked against libraries from glibc 2.2.4.  This patch fixed the
problems that I was seeing...

2001-10-05  Kevin Buettner  <kevinb@cygnus.com>

	* pthread.c (__linuxthread_pthread_sizeof_descr): Change name
	to __linuxthreads_pthread_sizeof_descr to match name used by
	symbol_list_arr[LINUXTHREADS_PTHREAD_SIZEOF_DESCR] in
	linuxthreads_db/td_symbol_list.c.
