  (gdb) b aio_proc
  Function "aio_proc" not defined.
  Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
  
  Breakpoint 1 (aio_proc) pending.
  (gdb) r
  Starting program: /home/nick/Reference/5.8.7-g/bin/perl5.8.7 -Mblib t/03_errors.t
  Breakpoint 2 at 0xb741b88f: file AIO.xs, line 279.
  Pending breakpoint "aio_proc" resolved
  
  Program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed.
  The program no longer exists.
  (gdb) where
  No stack.
  
  
  
  WTF?
  Oi, gdb, where's the fucking program? It's not small - it can't just disappear.
  Have you checked behind the sofa? Did it disappear up your own arse?
  
  
  With "tools" like these, who needs bugs?

  Did you try 'catch signal'?
