Well the server runs just fine, but unfortunately I can't do any 
debugging! When I start GDB on the X server (gdb X), when I run the 
server gdb crashes with an internal error. I get the same error if I run 
the installed version of X or if I run the debug build that I have built.

What platforms and versions of gdb are you guys testing and developing 
with? I am using Fedora Core 2 on my test machine, and I just upgraded to 
all the latest patches and updates (crashed the same before and after).
