Hey,
I've been using gdb, linux and mt programming for a good year or two now in a professional
setting and I have following advice:
1) Get a good logging framework. We use log4cxx but I think someone is working on 
boost logging too. For some things you just need to be able to follow logging
2) Use valgrind often! It is usually 100% correct when it points to problems in your code but
might be incorrect when pointing out problems in libs.
3) Get a good testing framework like google gtest... which you then run under valgrind...
4) Configure your system to dump core.
We have tried hellgrind and found the output difficult to interpret and giving too much false
positives -- but on the other hand they might be disasters waiting too happen.
Greetz,
Immanuel

Hey,

Thanks for the "thead apply all bt" tip, gets me a bit more info.

As it happens I fixed the bug that cause this thread by mistake, it was a deadlock in GUI code.

I've looked into valgrind and helgrind, getting lots of output... don't really know how to use it yet.
Tutorials and man will sort me out when I get time...

Thanks, -Harry
