Ok, I'll try that.

I have done some experimentation with gdb and other programs. It seems
it *always* fails in this way. This makes backtraces and breakpoints
useless (I can set them but they are never triggered).

Evolution just froze when I tried to send this message! But this is
another bug that I've been seeing for some time: "Evolution freezes when
run under gdb and it spawns an external process such as gpg". I haven't
reported _that_ bug yet because:

<freeze>
Cannot find thread 213003: invalid thread handle
(gdb) where
Cannot find thread 213003: invalid thread handle
Cannot find thread 213003: invalid thread handle
(gdb) kill
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y
<gdb freezes too>
<sam throws brick at computer>

I guess I'll file a bug against gdb and hope the maintainers of that
package can help me nurse it back to health!
