Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
Yesterday, while running a single-threaded C++ program a couple times in gdb,
I saw two gdb core dumps. One in the middle of debugging (I think
while pressing ctrl-t because the program has a signal handler I wanted
to test), but once immediately after starting gdb up.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run gdb repeatedly.

I have a core dump of one of the runs, here's the backtrace:
