Hi George,

You are right that I was using different versions of gdb for the two 
traces as I use different toolchains to compile 2.4 vs 2.6.  The 2.4 
trace was using gdb 6.0 while the 2.6 trace was using gdb 6.1.  After 
your email, I tried single-stepping on both 2.4 and 2.6 using both gdb 
6.0 and 6.1.  Gdb 6.0 works fine on both platforms but gdb 6.1 only 
single-steps correctly using the old kgdb and 2.4.  The following shows 
the full trace of an attempted step on both 2.4 and 2.6 using gdb 6.1.  
In both cases, I compiled in a call to breakpoint() and then connected 
gdb and simply ran 'si'.

Here's the successful single-step on 2.4 w/ gdb 6.1:

The 6.1 version that isn't working correctly with the new kgdb came from 
uclinux.org.  For now, I'll try to use 6.0 to debug with. 

Thanks again,
