>Description:

Whenever I run an application through the system's GDB, GDB locks in wait4().
It does not matter if the application has debugging information or not.  /bin/ls
will lock GDB up for me until I type Ctrl-C.

Two systems of mine exhibit this behavior.  One has the binary nvidia driver
with a lot of changes in libmap.conf.  The other is headless without a
libmap.conf.

>How-To-Repeat:

gdb /bin/ls
