Subject: cannot "hibernate" if program being debugged in gdb is paused after SIGABRT in linux 2.6.23 (but can in 2.6.22.7)

Hi LKML,
	My computer running kernel 2.6.23 does not "hibernate" (suspend to disk using 
the kernel's methods) with a program (named stringTest) running in gdb, but 
has received a SIGABRT.
	The hibernate is successful when running kernel 2.6.22.7 !

Here is the message from gdb:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what():  basic_string::substr

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0xb7fb6410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()

And the attached file is the portion of /var/log/syslog when the hibernate was 
attempted.

Let me know if there is anything else to send,
	C.
