Re: svnserve -X doesn't really work

That was my second attempt, but gdb-6.6 doesn't seem to break at my breakpoints.

gdb svnserve (inside emacs)
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x804caca: file subversion/svnserve/main.c, line 304.
(gdb) run --foreground -d -T --listen-host localhost -r

Meanwhile the svn import has finished successfully. It either never
calls write (not likely) or gdb didn't manage to honor the breakpoint.
 In fact, I can't get it to break on 'write' even if I debug svn
import NEW file://...

It's been a while since I tried to debug threaded programs with gdb.
I'm probably forgetting something basic. Maybe some kind of dynamic
loading weirdness.
