GDB locking up in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)

Since I upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 10.04, I'm experiencing serious problems with GDB. Basically, every time I try to auto-complete us开发者_开发百科ing TAB, the process becomes unresponsive for several seconds, or forever. I have to kill gdb and lose my session.

The same happens if I accidentally try to print a variable that isn't in scope or doesn't exist (which is easy to do by accident).

Anyone else see this? Any ideas?

I did a little poking around and it seems that 7.1 has issues (my particular one was the inability to print variables without locking up). IIRC it had to do w/ large footprint binaries. Can't seem to find the link...
