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
