Couldn't get registers: No such process.
(gdb) q
The program is running. Exit anyway? (y or n) y
"No such process" AND "The program is running"... great... just great. The application just 'exits' somewhere... who knows... gdb won't tell. However it runs fine outside the debugger. So the debugger is screwing up the execution environment so programs exit at strange points. I LOVE gdb... it's the best! *vomit*
So most of the time, to debug non-trivial applications on this supposedly "enterprise ready" operating system you are left with printf.
Super! I love printf!
