This source code does not runs correctly on my friend's computer (where there is
the bug) whereas on mine (I don't have ubuntu) I have no problems (and gdb runs
correctly)

Actually gdb crashes with every program

> Actually gdb crashes with every program

closing this report. gdb works for me in general, it doesn't crash every program.

for the original bug report you may want to recheck with a recent version of gdb
in Ubuntu dapper (6.3.90.20051119-1ubuntu1)
