Insight assertions (arm-elf)

[lars-henrik.ivarsson@mecel.se]

Hi,
I have succesfully build Insight-20030210 with the patch and fix posted
here the last days.
However when I run the debugger i get an assertion in frame.c (see log
below).
I'm running against an ARM Integrator board with RedBoot installed
Is this a known problem? Any workaround available?

According to the Insight people this is not an Insight problem but rather a gdb problem.
