I'm using the current CVS trunk gdb on my x86 Red Hat Linux 6.2 box.
I somehow got gdb into a state where attempts to re-run the inferior
or to exit gdb fail like so:

    (gdb) r
    The program being debugged has been started already.
    Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y
    Cannot find thread 1024: generic error
    (gdb) q
    A debugging session is active.
    Do you still want to close the debugger?(y or n) y
    Cannot find thread 1024: generic error

I finally had to C-z gdb and kill it from the shell.

If it matters, the program I was debugging used threads.

I don't know how I got gdb into this state :-(.
