Description Oleg Khokhlov 2009-10-08 15:17:22 UTC 
- Start IDE and open/create a cnd project;
- Go to Debug->Attach Debugger;
- Check "Show all processes";
- Choose netbeans and click OK;

Nb is completely frozen.
You can kill gdb process and IDE will be ok again but if user doesn't know that he should kill gdb process - he can kill
netbeans process which can lead to dataloss.

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200910070250)
Java: 1.6.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 14.2-b01
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1251; ru_RU (nb)
Comment 1 Alexander Pepin 2009-10-08 18:23:29 UTC 
The problem occurs due to native gdb issue. Gdb breaks NB execution causing a segmentation fault. Command line gdb works
the same way.
The possible pretty simple fix is to disable attaching to the "parent" (current IDE) netbeans process.
