Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdb

I often experience many issues involving how Netbeans handle C++
projects. First of all, it sometimes (randomly) chooses not to activate
the "Step into" global option and I can't just press F7 to start
debugging, I have to right-click the project (which is set as main
project!) and click "Step into".

Secondly, very often clicking "Step into" makes Netbeans point me at the
end of my few short functions (actually, at the end of the first one)
and nothing works, neither "Step into" nor "Step over". Restarting the
debugger doesn't help, I have to restart Netbeans and re-add all my
watches...

The error message that shows up in debugging window of Netbeans is:
~"/build/buildd/gdb-7.2/gdb/thread.c:598: internal-error: is_thread_state:
Assertion `tp' failed.\nA problem internal to GDB has been detected,\nfurther
debugging may prove unreliable.\nQuit this debugging session? "
~"(y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]\n"
~"/build/buildd/gdb-7.2/gdb/thread.c:598: internal-error: is_thread_state:
Assertion `tp' failed.\nA problem internal to GDB has been detected,\nfurther
debugging may prove unreliable.\nCreate a core file of GDB? "
~"(y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]\n"

I originally reported the bug to Netbeans:
http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198498
but it seems it's not their issue.
It really hampers writing performance, so I consider it critical.
