Problems getting apache to run under gdb

I am running RedHat AS 2.1 QU2 and trying to get Apache 2.0.44 to run in
gdb - I followed these instructions:
http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html and here is what I get:

[root@jake .libs]# gdb httpd

(gdb) b ap_process_request

(gdb) r -X -d /usr/local/apache2
Starting program: /root/apache/httpd/.libs/httpd -X -d /usr/local/apache2
Error while reading shared library symbols:
Cannot get thread info: generic error

(gdb) q

Anyone seen this before? Have any ideas?

Thanks,
