I'm not 100% sure of what is going on here but I think the kernel vsyscall library has changed names to linux-gate.so.1. This virtual DSO doesn't really exists so gdb can't read symbols from it. The result of this is that you need to type 'CONT' into the gdb window three times when you start an app.

The change appeared in glibc-2.3.2-98

Is this change supposed to be handled by gdb or gideon?
