 This came up at the developer summit.  We do need to upgrade/make
 significant changes to gdb for it to understand threaded debugging.  The
 panics might be interesting as it might be tickling other issues, but
 before we can really debug threaded apps we need a new gdb.

Do we need a rewritten gdb, or can we have both the current gdb and a new tgdb for debugging the threaded stuff?


The latter approach seems to be something that would be a lot easier to integrate without risk of breaking anything currently existing, and tgdb could even be done as a port until such time as it's fully ready to take over from the built-in gdb in the system.
