Well, in this case it works for me under FreeBSD, but I'd guess it works under NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux. I tested this under one of my current FreeBSD machines, but I've been running gdb over nfs for years. I don't think it's release dependent.

Well, I suppose the party line is "3.3 isn't supported". And I don't intend to reinstall 3.3 to prove that it works there. But since you mention vmware, maybe we have other things in the equation. Have you tried this with a native install?
