No luck with latest CVS version (GNU gdb 6.3.0.20050407-cvs): (gdb) bt warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x658. GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x658 and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame. This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or the frames below it. This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or stack pointer. However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back from 0x658 for code which looks like the beginning of a function, you can increase the range of the search using the `set heuristic-fence-post' command. warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x658.
