reopen the issue if the problem persists?

Title:
  gdb tui support broken ("layout regs" gives internal error, "layout
  split" gives core dump

Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdb

  The tui "layout" commands appear rather "fragile":

  ________________________________________________

  1) "layout regs" causes a gdb internal error

  To recreate:

  gcc -g file.c
  gdb --tui a.out
  (gdb) b main
  (gdb) layout regs
  (gdb) r
  Starting program: /home/james/src/c/a.out 
  /build/buildd/gdb-7.2/gdb/i386-linux-nat.c:562: internal-error: Got request for bad register number 41.
  A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
  further debugging may prove unreliable.
  Quit this debugging session? (y or n) 
  ________________________________________________

  2) "layout split" causes gdb core dump

  To recreate:

  gcc -g file.c
  gdb --tui a.out
  (gdb) b main
  (gdb) layout split
  (gdb) r
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
