This is your problem:
I know :) That's why I need help. I am just putting this out in the list in the case others saw this issue too and got around it.
My searching also ended up with the same result. I am on RHEL 6.6 though. I'll talk to the sysadmins to learn if they recently disabled ptrace. If that's the case, then I'll never be able to run gdb until I get my own GNU/Linux machine. (It sounds absurd that one can't use gdb if they don't have sudo rights.)
Also, with older gdb version, that ships with my OS, I don't get that ptrace error, but the gdb is not catching any exceptions from emacs. While in the latest gdb 8.0.1, I get ptrace error. So it could be use that the newer version is throwing an error where needed?
Thanks.
