The 2.6.19 has a bug that breaks gdb when loaded via Anjuta. When using this kernel version, a developer can not debug his programs via Anjuta. The bug is fixed on 2.6.20, so you might want to backport the patch.

i even cannot reproduce the sleep bug here that is mentioned in the bug,
updating gdb now to 6.6 perhaps this fixes your issues

Create a "hello world" C app with anjuta, build it, then say "Debug" and you should see the error message...

please try the new gdb package here:

it is an kernel bug not an anjuta bug.

No, the new package did not fix the bug. As Arjan said, it's a kernel bug.
