Still can't reproduce failure on both boards. Change it to INVALID.

I can still reproduce problem reliably on GDB 7.2 on Loic's Beagleboard. Reopening ...

[Ulrich Weigand (uweigand)]

It looks like the problem only occurs if debug info for libc is present. This is the case on Loic's Beagleboard since I installed the libc6-dbg package (and built GDB with --prefix=/usr).
