GDB 4.16 dumps core with egcs-1.0

[tdowney@newscorp.com]

Hi folks

Has anyone else had trouble with gdb-4.16 and egcs-1.0 under Solaris
2.6.  I recently recompiled gdb with egcs and now it dumps core every
time I run it.  The core dump does not occur until I actually finish
using gdb.

It appears to actual work correctly during the debugging, but will dump
core every time i exit.  It will also dumps core under a simple run of:

 
nutbrown:~(13)> gdb -v
GDB 4.16 (sparc-sun-solaris2.6), Copyright 1996 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

gdb internal error: Memory corruption
Quit (core dumped)


Doing a debug of the core file that gdb generated with a stack trace
shows:

(gdb) bt

#11 0xef6c7380 in exit ()

(gdb) 


Has anyone else seen this or have any suggestions?

Thanks!
