I've a problem with gdb and running functions in the `print' command.  This
used to work before. I've got no clue when it stopped to work.

It works for me with my locally compiled gdb 5.1 fetched from my local gnu
mirror.

I'm running 1.5AZ/i386, and my build finished Fri Jan 11 05:47:28 CET 2002.

Love


: lha@nutcracker ; cat foo.c

main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    printf(strdup("foo\n"));
    return 0;
}
: lha@nutcracker ; gcc -g -o foo foo.c
: lha@nutcracker ; ./foo
foo
: lha@nutcracker ; gdb foo

Now running gdb-5.1 release from the local gdb mirror:

(gdb) p (char *)strdup("foo")
$1 = 0x804b030 "foo"
(gdb) The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y
