>Description:
Hello everybody,

I am trying to start with the gdb and gdbserver in an embedded environment.
I have a running programm to debug on an embedded-ppc. 
The gdbserver run there. I can establish a connection between the embedded-
ppc an my host a Pentium. I set a breakpoint in the first line of code with
ddd. The arrow stops. After deleting the breakpoint I can step through the 
first lines of code an the system behaves correctly.

Bu after pressing the button Continue, I receive the following line in
the shell of the embedded-ppc, connected via rsh:

GDB bug: target.c (target_signal_from_host): unrecognized real-time signal

Unfortunately I do not know, what this means. Can anybody help? I use the
gdb 5.2. The programms contains some threads.

Thanks in advance.

Bye Kai
