Actually, I've been looking at some of the newer stuff, like -gdwarf+
and so on. There are several different flavors of debugging extensions that 
gcc and g++ support now. A couple of these are ONLY supported by gdb.

>And it dies with:

Some of this may happen becasue it's dying in your libraries,which are not
compiled (if your're using supplied binaries) with any debugging info.

>Grr..  xxgdb doesn't come with Redhat.  
It always has been on every RH distro I've ever seen! I will check and get
back to you on this...
