Yes, I know. I tried it on the PS3 first and couldn't reproduce
the bug he saw on the blade.
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.
On the Blade DABRX had to be set additional to DABR. PS3 and Celleb
already did this. Uli Weigand found this back in November. I submitted
a patch for this which went into 2.6.25-rc4.
Can you please try again with rc4 ?

Gruß,

Jens
