Hi everybody,

I am trying to use gdb script on a multithreaded application.

My script is very simple :
- Attach on the process
- I set a breakpoint
- I use a while statement to reach the breakpoint fifty times
- After that, I delete the breakpoint, detach and quit.


The problem is that, sometimes, when the breakpoint is reach, gdb goes
in error:

   [New Thread -1210061904 (LWP 15939)]
   scriptgdb.withoutserv.out:56: Error in sourced command file:
   Cannot get thread event message: debugger service failed

The command is : gdb -batch -x scriptgdb.withoutserv.out

I don't know what the problem is, may be on the way I use gdb ? (The
script is in attachment)

It seems that gdb have some problems with the multithreaded application,
is it a known "bug" ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Christophe
