Which patch is that? I'm testing this on Slackware 13.1, which uses glibc 2.11.1, kernel 2.6.33.x. I don't think any such patch is part of 13.1.

Perhaps provide me the exact steps you want to me follow to test gdb. That is, last week when I could not start konqueror, just after the tdelibs ABI patch, I created a backtrace like this:

gdb -- arg konqueror
run
bt

If that is sufficient, then drkonqi is broken?
