Hi Matthew,

I get
Attaching to process 13920
Reading symbols from
/root/racket/racket-6.0.1/src/build/racket/racketcgc...done
.
[lots of loads omitted]
0x01b230f8 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x01b230f8 in ?? ()
#1  0x40826940 in ?? ()
#2  0x40826940 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

Ugh.
