However, there's a thread on gdb-patches here from 2004 that seems to indic= ate that this limitation was in the process of being eliminated: http://sources.redhat.co= m/ml/gdb-patches/2004-12/msg00256.html So... I'm a bit confused. Is the manual out of date? Did the "watchthread= s" patch never make it into mainline builds for some reason? Thanks in advance, - Steve
