'next' command broken on sparc

["Dieter Stüken" <stueken@conterra.de>]

I frequently observe the 'next' command not to stop
at then next line. Instead the program continues to the end.
Similar problems are reported some time ago in conjunction
with mips, threads or shlibs.

But I'm working on solaris, using:

GNU gdb 6.3

This GDB was configured as "sparc-sun-solaris2.8".

and:

 > gcc -v
Reading specs from /share/unix/solaris/8/pakete/gcc-3.4.3-64/lib/gcc/sparc64-sun-solaris2.8/3.4.3/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/share/unix/solaris/8/pakete/gcc-3.4.3-64 sparc64-sun-solaris2.8
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3

It happens in a bigger project, and I could not narrow it down
to special situations. It seems to happen quite randomly to me.
Thus I don't have any small example code by now.

I have to use shared libs, which also require threads
(although I don't use any threads explicitly)

Is this a known problem? Can I avoid it?

Dieter.
