As of now, I found that it happens when gdb is trying to unwind the frames. It tries 'tramp_frame_sniffer' unwinder which causes those errors, afaik it's normal for most unwinders to fail to unwind (gdb tries all unwinders to see which one can unwind the previous frame), will see how to handle this case. > > BTW: I did not see the similar issues after applying the v4 patch set. There was a minor bug in V5, due to gdb thread still set to thread 0 initially. Fixed that one. Thanks, Aditya Gupta > > > Thanks > > Lianbo > > > > > Known Issues: > > ============= > > > > 1.
