+gdb/1322: "internal-error: sect_index_text not initialized" after printing a java type
+
+When gdb debugs a Java program which uses shared libraries, it can
+generate this internal error.
+
+If you get this error when debugging Java, you can try working around
+the problem by relinking your program with no shared libraries at all
+(even the standard C library).  With the GNU linker, use the "-static"
+argument to do this.
+
+You can also try this patch for gdb:
