Nick,

Have you had a look at the Debugging with GDB handbook?

http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/

Whilst you /can/ buy this book from Amazon you can also download it and
print it yourself. It's not quite a tutorial but it should tell you all
you need to know, especially if you're already competent at debugging.
