As far as I know, gdb doesn't really work with NPTL yet,
though the latest CVS version might.  Also, the NPTL
in RH9 is a bit long in the tooth; there have been
a lot of fixes since then.  Not sure how up-to-date they are.

You might try running with Linuxthreads (you just have
to set an environment variable, I think) for the moment
when debugging...

Ask around on the NPTL mailing list to see what status of
gdb and nptl is, maybe.  See
