Title:
  gdb --batch broken since 7.8

Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  GDB 7.8 has a broken --batch functionality. In batch mode gdb is not
  able to fetch a proper backtrace and instead prints two garbled frames
  that have nothing to do with the actual process (always two
  apparently). It works perfectly fine when one runs gdb without batch
  and runs the exactly same commands.

  This breaks all KDE software backtracing/crash bug reporting!

  # How to reproduce
  echo "thread apply all bt" > /tmp/instr
  gdb --batch -x /tmp/instr -p `pidof kate` /usr/bin/kate
