Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I just upgraded from emacs 23.1 (version from web site, not from cvs) to 23.1.50.1.
Then tried to debug some simple program:
M-x gdb: gdb -i=mi /n.10.3.rh73:/tmp/p1

failed as You can see.

Additionaly I just invoked it again, this time with "debug-on-error". This is result:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  string-match("[^-0-9a-zA-Z_./]" nil 0)

  call-interactively(gdb t nil)

  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)

in previous emacs I used to do:
1) visit /n.10.3.rh73:/tmp directory
2) M-x gdb: gdb --annotate=3 ./p1

for emacs 23.1.50.1 I also tried this command, but no success.

Best regards,
Michal

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I've added the following text to the Tramp manual, section 5.4.5
"Running a debugger on a remote host":

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Since the remote ‘gdb’ and ‘gdb-inferior’ processes do not belong
to the same process group on the remote host, there will be a warning,
which can be ignored:

&"warning: GDB: Failed to set controlling terminal: Operation not permitted\n"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm closing the three bugs.

Best regards, Michael.
