Can't debug my xlib changes because gdb gets SIGTRAP in __sigsuspend via _Jv_ThreadWait

["Scott Gilbertson" <scottg at mantatest dot com>]

I'm trying to debug my xlib changes, but the debugger is not giving me the
effect I'm looking for.

With my .gdbinit settings, I can load and run my program just fine in gdb.
If I set a breakpoint, however, the thing always gets a SIGTRAP in
__sigsuspend.  If I continue, the program is apparently running, but all
messed up (no graphics, and my breakpoint is never reached).  If I run with
no breakpoints, interrupt, set a breakpoint then continue, I get the same
problem.

Any idea what's going on and/or how to get the debugger to work?
