All--

I'm trying to use gdb on a simple mt app (contradiction in terms, maybe...). 
The app runs fine, but I wanted to give the gdb a test drive.  However,
whenever I step into or over any pthread code, I get an error message popup
announcing a segmentation fault.  In my case, a call to pthread_cond_init()
causes the SIGSEGV.  

The code is compiled w/ -g, and I can step through the execution for everything
up to the pthreads code.  Is this a limitation w/ gdb or am I missing either a
compilation or debugging flag?  I'm using the full cygwin distribution as of
cygwin-1.3.5-3 on Win2000.

Here's the final state of the "Source Display Status Bar:"

>>> (function:) _libkernel32_a_iname (display mode:) ASSEMBLY

Here's the final state of the "Source Display:"

>>>  Unable to Read Instructions at 0x77e86e74


thanks for the help,
Evan
