GDB: Cannot access memory at address 0x40017df0

[Joost Witteveen <joostje@cistron.nl>]

Hi,
this morning, I did the upgrade of bind, and because of that, my
libc6 was upgraded. After that, I've been unable to run gdb
on my favorite little program. Does this soudn familiar to
anyone? (ie, the error: `Cannot access memory at address 0x40017df0').

After that, I upgraded my whole system (apt-get upgrade), so now
all libraries are up-to-date (as wel as the .dev packages), but
the error message stays.

(Yes, I can put a breakpoint at the first line of the program, and
still I get the same error message).
