That's very surprising. Doesn't DDD just run GDB internally?

This is a bug; GDB should be able to step over calls to
pthread_create.

If you haven't already, please try downloading the latest GDB sources
from CVS (see http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/) and see if the
problem still occurs. If it does, then if you can post instructions
here that allow us to reproduce the problem on our own machines, then
I will try to fix it.
