gdb Stopped in pthread_create

Hi All, 

  I've tried to debug my multithreaded application with gdb
6.6 (GNU
gdb Red Hat Linux (6.6-15.fc7rh) ), but inside
pthread_create call I
get 

[1]+  Stopped                 gdb ./a.out

  If I use ddd on the same machine pthread_create works just
fine. 

I get this error on all Linux boxes and GUI is not available
on all of
them. Is there a way to configure gdb so that it could
tolerate
pthread_create?

That's very surprising.  Doesn't DDD just run GDB
internally?

This is a bug; GDB should be able to step over calls to
pthread_create.

If you haven't already, please try downloading the latest
GDB sources
from CVS (see http://sourceware.
org/gdb/current/) and see if the
problem still occurs.  If it does, then if you can post
instructions
here that allow us to reproduce the problem on our own
machines, then
I will try to fix it.

Hello,

I just tried out gdb 6.6 on linux (2.4 kernel).

It looks like catch thread_exit is not yet implemented. Is
there some 
other trick I can use to break on a thread exit? I tried
breaking on 
pthread_exit but that doesnt work.

Thanks in advance,
Mayuresh.
