The previous version of gdb works properly with Eclipse, including the=20
newest version. Along comes a new gdb and compatibility fails. Trashing=20
gdb-20060706 and restoring gdb-20041228 solves the problem. You tell me,=20
was the old version not working correctly or is the new version broken?

When others depend upon what you do, the old maximum for physicians=20
should apply also: "First, do no harm". My suggestion is to roll back=20
the default gdb installation to its previous version and classify the=20
new one as experimental.
