x/i 0x204c5ac. seg fault

The following typo caused a seg fault:

GNU gdb 6.4.50.20060206-cvs
...
(gdb) x/i 0x204c5ac.
Segmentation fault

Sorry that I haven't tested a more recent version than
6.4.50.20060206-cvs.

Cheers,
Shaun

  Can't reproduce with more recent cvs build on cygwin:

  Why not see what happens if you cd into the 'gdb' subdir
of your build tree and enter

./gdb ./gdb

and try that command on the inner gdb?
