Got the same effect: gdb stops not only the program to be debugged at a breakpoint -- the whole kernel refuses to done anything more if the program stops at the breakpoint.
Strace is more effective: It needs no breakpoints to stop the kernel...

(no sarkasm! only a little bit astonished about such an "fundamental" side-effect :-)
By the way: No trace of any debugging/oops/something in the syslog-file.
