1.40.2. RHBA-2011:0186: gdb bug fix update

An updated gdb package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The GNU Debugger, GDB, allows the debugging of programs written in C, C++, and other languages by executing them in a controlled fashion and then printing out their data.
This update fixes the following bug:
* Previously, a change to the list of shared libraries could corrupt the internal "bpstat" structure. Consequent to this, typing the "info program" command at a GDB prompt could cause the utility to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This update ensures that the "bpstat" structure always contains the correct data, and running the "info program" command no longer causes the debugger to crash. (BZ#669636)
All users of gdb are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
