This could impact timeouts and the interaction of multiple threads. gdb has less impact on the timing than does strace, but gdb can stop an individual thread while (I believe) allowing other threads to continue.]]>https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=272892013-06-22T15:02:26Zhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1291015#p1291015I'm having the same trouble as the user who posted this bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35644 . I'm trying what he tried, although I'm using strace rather than gdb. Like him, gkrellm is not crashing for me when running through strace. Do programs like strace and gdb alter the behavior of a program in any way? I've totalled maybe 18 hours now. On its own, gkrellm would definitely have crashed by now.
