What happens is that gdb_load errors out and calls perror, then
returns 1. All I have done is wrap gdb_load in a check for a 1 return
value. The alternative is to alter the gdb_load (or whatever gets
caled from it) to recognize that error and do something specific, but
I thought that was too ad hoc a behavior for a generic procedure.
