Hi,
	I have a fairly annoying bug that is hiding when I use GDB to try to
find it. The bug is that a search through a small database (using
strcmp's) returns a NULL pointer (which normally means that it found
nothing) when running normally, but when run through GDB the function
finds the correct match. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of
what sort of functions or methods or bugs etc. could cause this effect
(ie work when using a debugger). Basicly what is the difference in the
environment between running normally and through a debugger.

Thanks,
Malcolm
