I meanwhile could reproduce the problem on Intel FC2. As the gdb info file  
clearly states that it should work with gcc -O compiled stuff, I think I  
should file a bugzilla...

As a related problem, the ddd and gdb rpm's coming with YDL4 sometimes  
apparently interact badly - they complain about inaccessible memory and  
refuse to run the application to be tested. Upgrading to self-compiled  
versions of gdb 6.3 and ddd 3.3.10 fixes the problem.

Cheers, Albrecht.
