I tried this testcase on Fedora Core 4 i386 running on a Pentium 4 box and I get

It seems to me the problem is likely to either be Ubuntu specific or a problem
with gdb. My advice is to open an Ubuntu bug at http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/.
When you do that you will want to tell them the version of glibc, gcc, and gdb
that you are using. This information is available from dpkg I believe.

I'm going to mark this bug as INVALID because there is not enough information to
demonstrate that this is a generic glibc bug.
