  See http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/37/37983.html

  Basically..potato's gdb doesn't have the threading patch (I think that there
was also some brokenness when glibc2.1 was introduced) but the next upstream
version is supposed to support Linux threading without a patch.  You'll have to
ask gdb's maintainer for more information I think..
