[Bug mi/9831] New: very slow loading of symbols under mi2 & core dumps

["daniel dot santos at pobox dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

I'm using Gentoo's gdb-6.8-r1 and Kdevelop 3.5.4.  This problem does not happen
when running directly from the command line or via kdbg, only when run through
kdevelop, thus I've selected the mi component, but this may not be correct.

I'm debugging a modified version of lincity-ng.  I added some mutexes around
calls into SDL-image and since then, it began to run very slowly with gdb taking
up 98% of one CPU.  If I add "set auto-solib-add off" to my ~/.gdbinit then the
problem is absolved.  A gprof output can be downloaded here:
http://glest.codemonger.org/gdb-gprof.out.bz2

Currently, it takes about 3 minutes until I am able to get to a breakpoint.
(this gdb executable was compiled with -pg).  The output when it did sigabort
was this:  rip = 0x0; saved rip dwarf2-frame.c:860: internal-error:
dwarf2_frame_cache: Assertion `fde != NULL' failed.  I should have saved all of
the internal commands between kdevelop and gdb.  I'll post more information as
I'm able to gather it, and hopefully I can get a core file.

Here is my "emerge --info" output:
