>Description:
gdb(1) can no longer 'run' programs using the 'run' command
from within the debugger.
gdb prints the following diagnostic, and then stops execution:
reading register pc (#17): Invalid argument.
Attempting the resume execution produces the same result.
Upon exiting gdb, it will clain the program is still running.
This is on the hp300. I have no up-to-date i386en to test this
on.
This did not occur on my previous binary/kernel set, from
mid August.
>How-To-Repeat:
gdb any binary, and try the 'run' command.
