Yes indeed, threads, lots of threads !

The applications are not large but have a lot of dynamically loaded
libraries, which, btw, has another annoying effect that when you
start gdb on a core file you have to press ENTER (q does not seem to work)
a few times because of the 'loading symbol messages'. Can you get rid of
that prompt ?

To give an example if you step over a function with 'n' it sometimes takes 5
seconds to skip over that function (even if that function is nog complex at
all)

What should i be looking at to give you more info.

Thanx for the reply
