After I upgraded my Ubuntu system to Lucid Lynx (10.04), I started to notice extremely slow responses from GDB when using auto-complete - from a few seconds to several minutes (at which point I usually kill GDB out of impatience). Scanning the Web and the mailing list archives as well as the bug tracker I couldn't find anything related and so I'm assuming it's not a widespread problem and likely something weird that's arisen in my system. Thus I didn't want to file a bug report, but thought I'd ask here instead. It's very irritating, especially when I end up having to kill GDB. It mostly occurs when I try to auto-complete using Tab, especially when I've misspelled the initial part and there's no match. But it also occurs sometimes when I type things like "break 422" while stepping through a file. I've no notion of the inner workings of GDB and no idea what this is all due to, but perhaps someone here has some clue? It's really hampering my work sometimes and I never saw it prior to my upgrade to 10.04. Kristoffer
