The previous version of gdb works properly with Eclipse, including the 
newest version. Along comes a new gdb and compatibility fails. Trashing 
gdb-20060706 and restoring gdb-20041228 solves the problem. You tell me, 
was the old version not working correctly or is the new version broken?
When others depend upon what you do, the old maximum for physicians 
should apply also: "First, do no harm". My suggestion is to roll back 
the default gdb installation to its previous version and classify the 
new one as experimental.
