After reading the ticket, I'm not clear: to what extent is this
gdb's fault?  Is this a matter of gdb having a bug, and we should
generate a simple test case and submit it upstream for a fix?  Or
is it a matter of gdb simply cannot do anything better and we
need to place nicely?

Either way, it would be nice to be able to debug the common code
path in Condor.  Thanks for digging into it!
