I think it basically gives the inferior process its own process group. I think that means that if gdb sees a CTRL-C, it won't be automatically passed to the inferior. FWIW, the "info dll" command is actually the same thing as "info shared", if you want to add that description, too. dll-symbols loads symbols from a dll similarly to add-sym but without the need to specify a base address. With the above changes, I think this is fine to check in. cgf
