bug#6295: GUD not responding when breakpoint inside try/catch

[Marc Ferland <marc@mferland.net>]

Hi,

I hope this is the right mailing list for posting this.

I am currently running: GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 2.18.3) of 2010-03-26 on crested, modified by Debian.

When debugging my C++ application, if I set a breakpoint inside a
try/catch clause, GUD prints the following error message when hitting
the breakpoint:

error in process filter: gdb-stack-list-locals-handler: Stack overflow in regexp matcher
error in process filter: Stack overflow in regexp matcher

After this point, GUD doesn't responds to commands (i.e.: C-c,
gud-next, etc.) and I am forced to restart everything by killing gdb
and my application.

Setting a breakpoint outside try/catch clauses causes no trouble at
all. Running gdb from the shell and setting breakpoints inside
try/catch also works correctly.

$ gdb --version
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.0-ubuntu

$ g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) 4.4.1

Regards,

Marc
