I thought it was just me that had thread problems. In a program,
when i step over:

   result  = gnome_vfs_directory_list_load (&dir_list, directory,
                       GNOME_VFS_FILE_INFO_DEFAULT);

I get:

(gdb) next

   Program received signal SIG33, Real-time event 33.
   [Switching to Thread -1230148688 (LWP 3083)]
   0xb7a975a9 in poll () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

and execution seems to abort because i can't reach any
breakpoints after this point. The program was compiled
with gcc-3.4.4 -g -O0. Gdb is version 6.3.
