So currently on `chmod 666 .gdbinit' it no longer traps...

BTW do people really need this feature?  I always use my alias gdbn to force
-nx to not load any .gdbinit, as I generally do not expect which project which
way changes my GDB behavior.

src/gdb/.gdbinit is the most invasive one, it breaks GDB completely. :-)

Other projects incl. bash could also use such `$PWD/.*rc' reading policies.
They do not.


Thanks,
Jan
