>From what I've been told on #mythtv by the developer, doing the "nostop" doesn't
fix the actual issue, which is that gdb should be working correctly in the first
place.  The nostop merely hides the issue and causes problems later on.  This
severely impacts the ability to debug the multi-threaded application.  Debian
(distro of MythTV developer) doesn't have this issue.

description: 
MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org) is a multi-threaded application.  When debugging
in gdb, gdb keeps raising SIG32 events, making it difficult to run / debug the
application.

Additionally, it appears that gdb does not always capture all thread stacks when
a backtrace is performed.

Not all versions of gdb created by Mandrake have had these issues when debugging
multi-threaded applications, but because the segfaults are rare, it is difficult
to remember exactly which gdb packages have had issues, and which don't.  5.3-25
definately has an issue with SIG32 events.
