Title:
  gdb crashes when debugging firefox after an exec

Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdb

  Create a simple program, gdbcrash.c, that runs firefox:

  #include <unistd.h>

  int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
      execl("/usr/bin/firefox", "firefox", NULL);
      return 1;
  }

  Compile it, and run it in gdb. Make sure firefox is not already
  running, or change the program so it starts firefox with a different
  profile.

  Here's what I get:

  $ gdb ./gdbcrash
