Same thing happened to me after installing NetBSD 2.0 and trying to set
kern.rtc_offset using gdb: core dump on quit.  Tried once more, with the
same result.  However, despite the core dump it turned out that the
desired change to kern.rtc_offset had registered.  Don't know why gdb is
doing this, but it seems that something is not quite right.
