Bug Description
I am unable to run gdb successfully on an Oneiric EC2 t1.micro 64-bit instance. The simplest case for reproducing this issue is to use "gdb /bin/true" and then the "run" command. gdb will hang and an "alignment check: 0000" from the kernel will appear in the dmesg output (full message included in the included debug info).
This only seems to happen on EC2 t1.micro 64-bit instances in my limited testing. 32-bit instances seem to be OK, along with larger 64-bit instances.
