>Description:
	gdb caused a panic trap type 4

	there is an error from gdb that says something like:

		warning: encountered unknown breakpoint in shared library

	(exact wording lost, and I'm not going to try this again!

>How-To-Repeat:
	write a really simple hello.c
	compile (cc -g -o hello hello.c)
	run gdb (gdb hello)
	set a breakpoint on the first statement (break hello.c:3)
	run the program under debug and stand back! (run)
>Fix:
	unknown
