Some of my programs invariably get an almost instantaneous SIGSEGV under gdb.
It appears to have something to do with pthreads.  Running normally, or under
valgrind, everything is perfect.  I haven't tried running x264 under gdb, so
I can't say if it's the same problem, but I can confirm that there are issues
with gdb and pthreads.
