Yes. No joy.

I do not see the relationship between gdb and dumper. The OP wanted to get a 
core dump file, and dumper freezes before a core is generated for gdb to 
read. That is why I recommended him to attach directly gdb to the process at 
crash time instead of trying to get the core file.

If you mentioned that because of my thread, then I must say that no, I have 
not tried the CVS version. I am doing my debugging in 32 bit instead.

I gladly would like to submit as many patches as necessary, but unfortunately 
I still have about fifteen years or so of learning before I could help in 
such a complex project like gdb. I am instead trying to track some bugs into 
the Cygwin's version of the OpenSceneGraph library, that is why I found those 
difficulties.
