Paul,
I assume 10.5.8 and Snow Leopard share the same problem. I used to
see the error...
Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 39624: (os/kern) failure (0x5).
(please check gdb is setgid procmod)
Now in gdb trunk, with the proposed darwin patch, I don't even get that
far. When passing an executable to gdb, it complains that the binary isn't
a valid executable. Is that what you are seeing under 10.5.8?
Jack
ps Actually I would have thought this issue requiring signing of gdb
would have been coupled more to a new Xcode release than to a new
Mac OS X release.
