System: NetBSD shark1.cambridge.arm.com 1.6ZC NetBSD 1.6ZC (SHARK1) #7: Sat Sep 27 15:13:42 BST 2003 rearnsha@vpc960.cambridge.arm.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/shark/compile/SHARK1 shark
Architecture: arm
Machine: shark
>Description:
	
	Running the testsuite for GDB crashes the kernel.  Trying to get into 
	ddb caused the console screen to fill with
		"Illegal instruction in kernel"
	messages.

	This also happens on a cats machine, so I suspect its tickling a
	generic ARM kernel bug.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Check out the gdb+dejagnu from sources.redhat.com.
	Configure and build (no need to install) the debugger.
	Run the testsuite (gmake check-gdb).
	
>Fix:
	Unknown.
