Couldn't read floating-point and SSE registers: No such device.
(gdb)
where I hoped to see the debugged copy of gdb would print its version
message.
This is on an old k6-2, so, umm, I think there's no SSE registers. But
I don't know what device "No such device" is meant to refer to -- if
nothing else it could include that in the message.
The problem doesn't happen to every program, maybe it's only related to
threads. I struck it trying to run up /usr/bin/debugperl and the debug
Gtk libs.
