Arnd,

Do we have any news on this topic? 

I've seen this happening quite often within GDB when using hardware
watchpoints on a shared variable in a threaded (7+ threads) binary.
Sometimes the watchpoint won't trigger, even though the monitored
variable's value was modified.

Appreciate your feedback.

Best regards,
